The final day of racing at the 2024 Junior Pan Pacific Championships saw the United States add another five golds to their hardware collection, cementing their position on top of the medal table as competition came to a close.
In what quickly became a race for second, Japan managed to clinch the runner-up spot behind the Americans. After being neck-and-neck with Australia and Canada for much of the meet, Japan added three more gold medals to its collection on Saturday to pull ahead of the other nations.
Turning in critical performances for Japan in securing their spot on the final medal table were Kotomi Kato and Shin Ohashi, who won the girls and boys 200 breaststroke to give Japan a sweep in the event.
Kazushi Imafuku also turned in a massive performance for his country, winning the 1500 freestyle in a thrilling finish that saw him narrowly beat out American Luke Ellis to claim the gold and shatter the meet record.
Japan came out of the competition with six gold medals and a total medal count of 21, having added seven on the last day, the most of any country besides the United States.

Only the USWNT knocking out the Matildas in the group stage of the women’s football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics was a more gratifying result. So much so that the head coach Tony Gustavsson subsequently quit the program. LMAO!
Well, Australia got mogged I know they didn’t have all of their best, but neither did we, and they had home turf advantage. Not many excuses
