dullard 63 Posted February 1, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2022 So it is confirmed: FINA Confirms Fukuoka Worlds Rescheduled For July 2023; Doha Edition Switched To January 2024 I hope Australia skips that shit in Doha in January 2024. Two long course World Champs and an Olympics in 12 months is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 3,902 Posted February 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2022 why not strip the Japanese idiots of their world champs and go on with the 2023 Doha worlds as originally scheduled? that would be the best solution to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably have more time to watch it in July than in May. https://totallympics.com/forums/forum/245-totallympics-polls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Having worlds in 2022 isn't ridiculous, it's the January 2024 edition that is complete nonsense). Canada4thewin and Makedonas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An athlete lucky enough to have their career peak during these years can achieve quite an inflated number of world titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
