One of the most spectacular water sports world championships in history has concluded. Perhaps, many of you, as well as this writer, have heard for most of your life about the World Championships in Water Polo, Diving, Swimming or Artistic Swimming. And it is not wrong, what happens is that several aquatic sports such as those mentioned were added to others such as Open Water Swimming and together they formed the World Aquatic Sports Championship.
the star of the world
But the show was stolen by swimming, which is one of the vedette sports of the multiple games and, together with athletics, is the two sports that win the most medals and, due to its popularity, it is very difficult for them to coincide in the competitive programs of the Olympic Games or regional games of any region of the planet.
In this sport, a group of top-level results and general sporting events took place, which alerted the sporting powers that until recently dominated the pool of all the competitions that took place in the world.
The venue
The World Championship was held in Fukuoka, Japan and could not have had a better venue because this country stands out for the organization of events and the quality of its athletes in a significant number of them, and this is no exception.
For two weeks (July 14 to 30) Japan became the water sports center of the world and the actors who participated in this film gave performances worthy of winning the Hollywood Oscar for such outstanding performances.
Summary of the highlights of all sports except swimming.
Of all this the author has only a couple of comments, for, the most remarkable and important thing happened in swimming. However, here too, events occurred that deserve our full attention.
perfection
The first and most important comment is for the diving athletes of the People's Republic of China. The dominance of the Asian giant in these specialties is incredible. To get an idea, suffice it to say that out of the 13 titles in dispute, Chinese athletes won 12 and lost only one title. Their performance in this sport enabled them to win the world water sports championship with 20 titles in total.
world power
Meanwhile, men's water polo was won by a powerhouse like Hungary, while the Netherlands defeated Spain in the final to be crowned world champions.
Another fierce battle took place in Artistic Swimming between Japan, China and Spain. Their athletes delighted judges and fans with technique, grace and originality. In this sporting battle, the delegations were left in that order with a very minimal margin of difference between them.
The highlight of the world championship
The water sports world championship was a resounding success because it combined the quality of the events, the excellent organization of the event and the transmission to more than 187 countries around the world.
Several elements characterized this World Championship and made it a singular event, but the most significant was to see the decline of the United States, the generational change of athletes with many young people who are asking for the leading role in the coming years and the fall of several world records, some of which were considered impossible to break.
For this author it has been the best world championship of all those staged this year and foreshadows a pitched battle in Paris 2024. In this criterion there are several arguments that can refute any different selection. But, the most significant thing is that in this sport there will be a before and an after this world championship because it meant the end of the last world records of who is considered the best athlete of all times: Michael Phelps.
If you want elements to support the above statement, here are some of them:
- A generation of young swimmers participated, capable of erasing all the records that remained from a period in which one-piece suits were used, which favored sports results and in 2009 their use was banned.
- The United States, the leading power in the sport, suffered one of the most resounding defeats in its history.
- In this world championship, all the world records held by Michael Phelps, who is considered the best swimmer in history and the most decorated athlete, were erased.
Another important element of swimming: Katie Ledecky surpassed Phelps with 16 individual world swimming titles to become the all-time leading winner of universal swimming crowns.
At a general level, the supremacy of the athletes from the island continent over the United States should be highlighted. To get an idea of this superiority, suffice it to say that in swimming Australia won by far with 13 gold medals, while the United States only managed to win 7.
This is a red light bulb for the U.S. delegation for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games because this is one of the sports that lead them to head the overall medal table. Now will come analysis and strategies to reverse the current situation.
