"This race was very tough. Sometimes, I say that in the open water it is a bigger fight than amongst the water polo players. In water polo, you have the rules, you have penalties, and you have fouls. But here, you have a yellow and red cards, but you cannot see anything under the water."

  • Bronze, Ana Marcela Cunha (BRA), Open Water, Women’s 5km

 

"Going to Paris with another medal is nothing but positive. The ultimate goal is to be Olympic medallists and doing what we did today, it is possible, in my mind at least."

  • Bronze, Scarlett Mew Jensen (GBR), Diving, Women’s 3m Synchronised

 

"It was a very strong race. I tried to push, push, push to take the gold medal, but in the last 20 metres, I was dead, and the other two French guys kept pushing. But all in all, I'm happy with the result."

  • Bronze, Domenico Acerenza (ITA), Open Water, Men’s 5km

 

"I told myself that I was winning the gold today and becoming a world champion once again."

  • Gold, Zongyuan Wang (CHN), Diving, Men’s 3m Springboard

 

"It feels great to become the first Colombian with two medals in the same World Aquatics Championships, but hopefully, this won’t be my last one in Doha."

  • Bronze, Gustavo Sanchez (COL), Artistic Swimming, Men’s Solo Free

 

"It means so much and I feel like I am getting better with age. I am still learning so much about the sport. I enjoy the journey. It gets hard, it is a little bit more physical, but I love this stuff. I love the ‘wind chop’ and Qatar has managed a really good championships. I am just grateful to be here."

  • Silver, Chelsea Gubecka (AUS), Open Water, Women’s 5km

 

"In Fukuoka, I saw this event from my couch. I was dreaming about this moment ever since I had my knee injury. This is the conclusion of one chapter and we can start all over again."

  • Gold, Giorgio Minisini (ITA), Artistic Swimming, Men Solo Free

 

"If we play each game like this, with energy and passion, I think we will do something really good here."

  • Efstathios Kalogeropoulos (GRE), Water Polo, Men’s Group Stage

 

"It’s great to be on the winners’ podium once more and to leave these World Championships with two medals, just as I did in Fukuoka. The only difference I now have a gold and a bronze in my collection too!"

  • Bronze, Osmar Olvera Ibarra (MEX), Diving, Men’s 3m Springboard

 

"This game for us today really meant a lot… and it was an opportunity for us to show resilience for not only ourselves but for everyone else at this tournament.”

  • Maxwell Irving (USA), Water Polo, Men’s Group Stage

 

"After Tokyo, I didn’t compete in any big events for two years so I’m happy to be back. I need to focus on myself and work on keeping myself calm when I’m on the diving board. I see my colleague Wang both as a friend and as an opponent, and this pushes me to train harder."

  • Silver, Siyi Xie (CHN), Diving, Men’s 3m Springboard

 

"I was surprised I was in the front. I told myself ‘Let´s just try something’. I took the risk and it has paid off."

  • Gold, Sharon van Rouwendaal (NED), Open Water, Women’s 5km

 

"I was really disappointed and frustrated after the 10km competition as I finished fourth. So today I wanted to make sure I do not make the same mistake again. I was very hungry for a medal."

  • Gold, Logan Fontaine (FRA), Open Water, Men’s 5km

 

"It feels amazing. I don’t think we have ever won silver before, so we are really happy. Our hard work is really paying off."

  • Silver, Anabelle Smith (AUS), Diving, Women’s 3m Synchronised

 

"I'm very happy to win a second medal for France, and today we have two medals, one gold and one silver. I'm very proud of my team."
