Teen titans set pace at world championships

New crop of young stars poised to dominate for years to come

Olympic champion Ruta Meilutyte won the women's 100m breaststroke gold medal on Tuesday, a day after setting the world record, as teenagers led the way at the world aquatics championships.

The 16-year-old Lithuanian set the world record of 1 min, 04.35 sec in Monday's 100m breaststroke semifinals before fellow 16-year-old Katie Ledecky of the US smashed the 1,500m freestyle record on Tuesday in Barcelona.
