At the conclusion of the 5th and final day of action at the 2017 European Junior Championships, Russia stood with a thoroughly-dominating performance, earning 30 medals in total – 13 women’s 15 men’s, and 2 mixed relay medals. That included 11 golds, 12 silvers, and 7 bronzes.
This marks the 7th-straight year in which Russia has topped the medal table at this meet, with the last time they failed to do so being 2011 – where the Brits led the way.
Their 30 medals is an increase of 8 from last year’s championship, though down from the high water mark of 42 won in 2015.
Hungary made the biggest surge forward from last year, winning 21 medals as compared to only 12 last year. That included the most outlandish performance of the meet – a World Junior Record in the men’s 200 fly from Kristof Milak, who out-swam Phelps’ junior best.
Russia also won the Team Trophy, which is based on 1-8 finals scoring. They had 1286 points, which left them 300 clear of Italy and another 76 ahead of Hungary.

wow wow wow ireland. what a job rudd is doing.
I’m not sure Jon Rudd should get the credit here, he’s only been the job for a few months. Not long enough to have that much of an effect on Irish swimming. And I don’t believe he’s McSharry’s coach either. This success is down to her and her coach. The same with Conor Ferguson.
i thought rob greenwood was coaching. jon is npd so deserves some credit? but ok.

Russia seems to consistently have a very good bunch of juniors, but a lot of them see, to struggle to make the transition to the senior team outside the top few. Let’s see how many of these swimmers we hear of in a few years.
Like juniors from any other country. Some of them will be good senior swimmers and others won’t be successful.
Actually it’s not like any other country, because no country takes junior sports more seriously. In Russia there is cash(and other rewards) for both athletes and coaches to be gained by succeeding in junior and collegiate sports, so there’s a lot of early specialization going on. And I mean A LOT. That’s why 1) they are so good and 2) so many good Russian junior athletes seem to disappear. In a way, they’ve completed a career once they reach junior success while in other countries it’s just the beginning.
We can take the 2013 summer universiade on Russian soil as a prime example. Russia won 155 gold medals out of the 353 at stake, the second best country scored 26.… Read more »
