FINA World Junior Swimming Championships 2022 | Schedule, when and where to watch
The eighth FINA World Junior Swimming Championships will begin on August 30 and will conclude on September 4. Although India hasn't won a medal in the World Juniors as yet, there is a glimmer of optimism because of the participation of several really talented young athletes this time around.
Given his outstanding performance in the weeks running up to the tournament, Vedaant Madhavan is possibly the team's greatest star. This year, the 17-year-old has won medals and set national records. In April, he won a gold medal in the 800m freestyle category at the Danish Open 2022. Later that year, the Maharashtra native set a new meet record in the 1500m freestyle event at the Junior National Aquatic Championship.
Apeksha Fernandes is another talented swimmer. Fernandes set five national records in five days at the Junior Nationals last month. She dominated the breaststroke and butterfly competitions.
