witness of outstanding performances achieved by around 250 young synchronised
swimmers on the occasion of the FINA World Junior Synchronised Swimming

at stake.

the more experienced national team, Russia's junior team was the best at home
with Varvara Subbotina claiming gold in the Solo routine (173.9189 points). She
proved stronger for Ukraine's Yelyzaveta Yakhno and Spain's Irene Toledano.

Kalinina and Daria Kulagina (RUS), who were also part of the squad for the Team
routine, topped the Duet with 170.7455 points. Ukraine's Yana Nariezhna and
Yelyzaveta Yakhno took silver and Japan was the last nation on the podium with
Kirara Oya and Mashiro Yasunaga.
As
expected, the young Russians also swept the Team routine title with an
excellent 170.8215 points and finally, the powerhouse triumphed in the Free
combination (91.9333 points), outplaying China by a small margin, while Japan
ended up third.
