Doha, Qatar, will host its first-ever FINA\/HOSA Marathon Swim World Series event on Saturday March 17, with the turquoise waters of Doha\u2019s iconic Corniche providing a stunning setting for reigning Olympic and World Champions to go ahead in the 10km open water races.<\/p>\n

Doha will open the FINA\/HISA Marathon Swim World Series 2018, which features nine legs taking place in some of the world\u2019s most scenic waterways, including the Seychelles, Portugal, Canada, Chinese Tapei, Hungary and China.<\/p>\n

115 long distance swimmers (43 women and 72 men) will race on Saturday in Doha.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the event, President of the Qatar Swimming Association (QSA) and FINA Bureau Member, Khalil Al Jabir<\/strong>, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honour for Qatar to host another prestigious FINA event and welcome the world\u2019s best open water swimmers to kick off the World Series in Doha. We will apply our experience and knowledge from hosting multiple world-class FINA events, including six FINA World Cups and the 2014 World Swimming Championships (25m) to organise an event to the highest possible level for everyone involved.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We hope that this event will continue to support the growth and development of swimming in Qatar as we build up to the 2023 FINA World Championships, the pinnacle event of the aquatics calendar. We invite everyone to come down to the Corniche on March 16 and 17, soak up the atmosphere and cheer on the athletes!\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The women\u2019s elite competition will see an exciting showdown between Rio 2016 Olympic champion, Sharon Van Rouwendaal<\/strong> of the Netherlands, 2017 World Series winner, Arianna Bridi<\/strong> and Rio 2016 Olympic silver medallist, Rachele Bruni<\/strong>, both of Italy, 2017 World silver medallist Samantha Arevalo<\/strong> of Ecuador and more.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in the men\u2019s competition, Rio 2016 Olympic and 2017 World champion Ferry Weertman<\/strong> (NED) will start as the strong favourite but will face stiff competition from Great Britain\u2019s Jack Burnell<\/strong>, who finished just outside the medals in fourth place at last summer\u2019s World Championships.<\/p>\n

Check out the full start list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Series will integrate the OPEN CHALLENGE (mass participation races), organised in parallel of the 10km elite race, on Friday March 16 within the same venue. There will be three categories available for the public in the Doha Open Challenge: 400m for boys and girls aged 11-14, 800m for boys and girls aged 15-17, and 1,200m for boys and girls aged 18 and over.<\/p>\n
