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.
