Germany without Selin, Miroslaw, Schwarz and Gose + Goerigk not doing the 400 IM where she would have been 4th on the entry list.
I am glad to see them skipping this competition since dragging their season out for an additional month after the junior europeans wouldn’t have been good for their chances to qualify for Tokyo. I am very skeptical about other nations having their swimmers compete at as many competitions as possible around the globe at such a young age. I thought that Armbruster would skip this competition too, but i guess a possible medal at junior worlds was more important for him than to have the best possible preparation for next season.
Only somewhat realistic… Read more »

For the Australian junior team. this is their only overseas meet for the year. They tend to have only one each year actually.

USA has no males in this competition born in 2003 or 2004 , except for a relay swimmer . (Probably cause the 2002 and 2001 kids are so strong ). Interesting for junior teams in 2020 and 2021 , but I’m sure they’ll be fine lol. A lot of teams are smaller with younger swimmers .

2-3 years is huge in male teenagers in just about every sport.

Why is the GB team so small? What’s the logic?

Euro Juniors were prioritised (as always). Maximum of 10 taken to World Juniors and most of them didnt go to Euro Juniors as a result.

Somewhat bizarrely, NED staying home. The trio of boys that swam well at European Juniors (Luc Kroon, Kenzo Simons and Caspar Corbeau), plus Lleyton Plattel would have represented well in Budapest.

I don’t understand some of the European countries not sending many. It’s so close .

For some, YOG and Euro Juniors were the priority. But still, it’s so close…

If Australia can send swimmers for instance ( basically 24 hours of travelling ) surely European countries can

Many European youngsters staying home. Considering the free races that were exciting at Eurojuniors: Selin, Simons, and above all Djakovic and Richards will be absent at these Junior Worlds. Will be there Robin Hanson and Vladyslav Bukhov (interesting prospect this Ukrainian sprinter, slow at the start but so fast in the swimming phase).
