From the creators of World Taekwondo, and makers of World Athletics and World Archery comes this winter’s newest hit, World Aquatics :p

Do Americans also refer to WhatsApp as WA in daily conversations? Because if they do, I already have a joke about “an Olympic enthusiast living in WA using WA to talk about WA and WA” :lol:

I don't know, WA is a good federation, but personally I prefer WA over WA, although WA is not a bad one neither.

Always good to see one less :FRA abbreviation in the world.  :beer:

Sure, that's good, but at least make the abbreviation less...you know, the same as others :d 

 

World Aquatics Federation would be better.

 

Spoiler

And World Athletics Federation. And World Archery Federation!

I agree. I think all Olympic sports federations abbreviations should be unique, just like the IOC country codes. This way referring to "WAF World Championships" you would immediately understand if it's Archery or Athletics, because the other one would be, for example, "WAA World Championships".
