Sarah Dumont crowned European Junior Champion once again

At the European Youth Swimming Championships in Samorin (1 to 6 July 2025), Sarah Dumont (NOC) won a gold medal in her event, the 200m butterfly, with an impressive time of 2:09.75, just above her own Belgian record.

Sarah was already European Junior Champion in this event last year, so she is following in her own footsteps!

5th place for 4x100m freestyle mixed, but were unfortunately disqualified due to a sharp take over. (with Vincent Van Hooydonck, Bere Waerniers, Fleur Bussels and Nore Michiels)                                  

7th place for 4x200m freestyle women (with Siri Vanderlinden, Nore Michiels, Léa Metzemakers, Noa Hollebosch)
