Swimming skill development assessment in swimmers’ achievements at the XVII world aquatics championships in Budapest-2017.

Abstract

Purpose: to determine the winner-swimmers skill development level by the result of final rounds at the World Aquatics Championship in Budapest-2017. Material: the winner-swimmers` result analysis at World Aquatics Championship on 23 - 30 Jul 2017 in Budapest, among 76 men and 74 women who received gold, silver and bronze medals from the strongest 23countries. Results: the article reveals some similarities and differences in the swimming skill level assessment among men and women swimmers of different age, winners of the XVII world Aquatics Championship in Budapest-2017. The general difference of the highest and lowest swimmers` results according to the received awards is 956 (men points) and 960 (women points), the difference is 6 points. Conclusions: it is necessary to count the total award number (gold, silver and bronze) (men – 974 – 953 – 942 = 956 the difference is 21 and 11 points, women – 981 – 957 – 943 = 960, the difference is 24 and 14 points) to make a top list more correctly, as the separate estimation (firstly only gold, then only silver and bronze) doesn`t show real swimmers` achievements through medals. The standard top list is based on separate estimation, in such a way the participant country getting only one gold award takes higher position than the countries with greater award number.
