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...

    • Good luck then! Keep us updated please!!!   And see you in 2026 olympics!!!
    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
