The FINA World Championships or World Aquatics
Championships are the World Championships for aquatic sports:
diving, swimming, open water swimming, synchronized swimming and
water polo. They are run by FINA, and in the pool swimming
events are contested in a 50 m, or "long course", pool.
 |
The event was first held in 1973 and is now held every 2
years. From 1978-1998, the World Championships were held
every four years, in the even years between Summer Olympic
years. From 2001 on, the Championships has been held every
two years, in the odd years. |
The 2009 World Aquatics Championships or the
XIII FINA World Championships will be held in Rome, Italy in
2009 from July 18 to August 2. The 2009 Championships will (again)
feature competition in all 5 aquatics disciplines: diving,
swimming, open water swimming, synchronized swimming and
water polo.
Rome won the right to stage the event on July 16, 2005 in
Montreal, Canada. Rome defeated rival bids from Athens (Greece),
Moscow (Russia) and Yokohama (Japan). |
