IOC name vs FINA name

 

And how exactly is that an excuse to have different names on a forum?

It's over a 1000 kilometres by air distance, according to Google.

What a surprise IOC is stupid then. It's rather clearly open water swimming  

 

actually, also the definition "open water" swimming is not always correct, as they can use small lakes and/or artificial bassins to host those kind of events (just think about last year's European Champs, held in a small lake near Glasgow...difficult to name that "open water")...

but in that (in)famous Fuku-town you'll be able to watch the first 2 days of the softball competition, next Summer...
