Our economy is on the brink of collapse, the World Aquatics Championships is the last thing we need right now... 

The annoying thing is the US still hasn't ponied up the funds to host even a single world champs in its whole history.

Having it 4 consecutive years (2022-2025) is ridiculous. An athlete lucky enough to have their career peak during these years can achieve quite an inflated number of world titles.

We won't have a WCh in 2023. Fukuoka was replaced by Budapest, they won't host the Championships next year.

Well, the joint criminal enterprise (officially known as the "government" of :HUN ) going to steal either way, at least now I get something out of it :D 

There should be some new arrangement with regards to the next competitions. Having one every year up to 2025 is insane

Eurosport in Hungarian published some details from the chairman of :HUN swimming federation:
- Due to cost savings there will be no extreme or high diving event

- Duna Arena will host the swimming and diving events

- Both artistic swimming and part of water polo will be in 2 different venues on Margaret Island (Margit sziget)

- Open water will be held on Lupa lake inside Budapest, venue of last European Championship held in Hungary

- During the group stage of water polo, 2-2 groups will be held at venues in Szeged, Debrecen and Sopron (these are venues built in the last few years)

- No additional seats will be provided in Duna Arena, unlike in 2017 (open air venues for open water and water polo on Margitsziget might have additional temporary seats as it is easier and cheaper to build)

Completely ridiculous, but hey if the Hungarian government wants to pay for me to have some entertaining swimming to watch I ain't going to complain too much.

 

(Having worlds in 2022 isn't ridiculous, it's the January 2024 edition that is complete nonsense).

well, having worlds in 2022 a few days before the European champs and the Commonwealth Games is pure nonsense...

 

they should have just cancelled the Fukuoka worlds and go with the originally scheduled Doha worlds in Summer 2023 and stop...

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
