FINA Bureau Member and Russian Swimming Federation (RSF) President, Vladimir Salnikov<\/strong>, announced that new swimming disciplines that are likely to be introduced at the 2020 Tokyo Olympi\u0441 Games will not be included onto the competition programme at the expense of existing ones.<\/p>\n

New swimming disciplines are the mixed freestyle relay and mixed medley relay and FINA favours to give them both the Olympic status.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the Olympic programme, only aquatic events are likely to undergo some changes. However, it might happen only at the expense of already existing events. Speaking of aquatic events, I don\u2019t think swimming events will undergo any change whereas I cannot say the same about other aquatic events,\u201d commented Vladimir Salnikov.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a new type of relay in swimming events \u2013 mixed relay. It is quite popular now because these exciting races are pretty interesting to follow, you never know the winner and it\u2019s too difficult to predict,\u201d he also stated.<\/p>\n
