"To share the podium with Hugo – this dude is my brother and a training partner so it is awesome. It is just one thing to win the title but to share it with the person that you love, that makes it much better. He focuses more on 200m, and I focus more on 50m, so we meet in the middle and we complement each other."

  • Gold, Hunter Armstrong (USA), Swimming, Men's 100m Backstroke

 

"I can’t put into words standing on the podium. I remember going to my first junior worlds and hearing the national anthem being played for people and I knew that one day I wanted that to happen for me. So to think it’s happening is so exciting."

  • Gold, Claire Curzan (USA), Swimming, Women's 100m Backstroke

 

"I think it is a great result for Spanish swimming. Coming here, one of my main aims is to inspire people back at home in swimming. It is a pretty small fan base compared to basketball or soccer so I just hope that I can inspire all these swimmers back at home that they can do it and if they dream about it, they can achieve it."

  • Silver, Hugo Gonzales (ESP), Swimming, Men's 100m Backstroke

 

"The big emotion is something crazy for us, for France, to come to the semifinal of the world championship... it’s something amazing and now we must go until the end. If we are here, it’s not a mistake, we are here because we deserve it. We want more."

  • Ugo Crousillat (FRA), Water Polo, Men's Quarter Finals

 

"I am someone who has missed out on the past two Olympic teams by just a little bit. I’m going to do my best this time to qualify for Paris, third time is the charm and I really hope that I make it this time."

  • Bronze, Ingrid Wilm (CAN), Swimming, Women's 100m Backstroke

 

"I was an unofficial gold medallist in 2019, now it’s silver, but in my mind it’s like gold, and it’s official this time."

  • Silver, Danas Rapsys (LTU), Swimming, Men's 200m Freestyle

 

"It is very special to compete in the Australian colours at the World Championships. To win a medal, it is very rewarding after all the hard work we have been through. It is tough sometimes. It is just great to be a part of the whole team, as we have a great swimming history, and it is pretty cool to come out with a medal."

  • Silver, Iona Anderson (AUS), Swimming, Women's 100m Backstroke

 

"It was a pleasure to swim here today. This gold medal was very important for my career and finally I got it."

  • Gold, Sunwoo Hwang (KOR), Swimming, Men's 200m Freestyle

 

"I had zero expectations coming into this race, I just wanted to see what I could do, and I think I surprised myself. I just did the 100m Breaststroke for fun – I don’t know what I expected, but I am really happy with how it turned out."

  • Bronze, Siobhan Bernadette Haughey (HKG), Swimming, Women's 100m Breaststroke

 

"It’s so exciting to win here in Doha! I always need consistent races, consistent results. I expected the victory, but it’s always difficult. It was a very tiring race, but I’m really pleased with my time and with the gold medal of course."

  • Gold, Simona Quadarella (ITA), Swimming, Women's 1500m Freestyle

 

"It was everything that we expect. Serbia is a great team. It’s like a Balkanian derby. It’s always tough games."

  • Loren Fatovic (CRO), Water Polo, Men's Quarter Finals

 

"Swimming is my job and I love it. It is my second Olympic ticket by getting under the top four and swimming is a sport full of joy, so I will see what comes next."

  • Bronze, Isabelle Gose (GER), Swimming, Women's 1500m Freestyle

 

"I just try to enjoy every race and every final because not everyone else does it, that’s what makes it so special. It’s just like looking at the stands, looking at the crowd makes me have a good time."

  • Silver, Tes Schouten (NED), Swimming, Women's 100m Breaststroke

 

"It’s so exciting to win here in Doha! I always need consistent races, consistent results. I expected the victory, but it’s always difficult. It was a very tiring race, but I’m really pleased with my time and with the gold medal of course."

  • Gold, Simona Quadarella (ITA), Swimming, Women's 1500m Freestyle

 

"Honestly, I didn’t expect myself to win this race, because I wasn’t doing really well since the competition in Japan last year where I didn’t even make it to the semi final. That’s why I wasn’t thinking of winning this time. I was thinking it wasn’t a big deal to lose since I have lost so many races."

  • Gold, Tang Qianting (CHN), Swimming, Women's 100m Breaststroke

 

"This is the type of game that people want to watch, not just man up, man down; more like movement and I think both teams had an amazing game."

  • Felipe Perrone (ESP), Water Polo, Men's Quarter Finals

 

I am very pleased with this medal, although not so with my race itself. I have now won the medal I’ve been wanting to get for so many years and this is what matters. My time doesn’t really represent what I can do, but this isn’t so important.

  • Bronze, Aspostolos Christou (GRE), Swimming, Men's 100m Backstroke

 

"I think this is a promising result to build on and I can’t wait for the rest of the season. It’s amazing, I am still grappling with the result, super happy to be leaving with a medal."

  • Bronze, Luke Hobson (USA), Swimming, Men's 200m Freestyle

 

"I see this race as a lesson, finding and adjusting different tactics."

  • Silver, Li Bingjie (CHN), Swimming, Women's 1500m Freestyle
