Coordinating events in order to ensure a coherent competition calendar adds an extra level of complexity and this is a key criterion for FINA\u2019s sanctioning of international competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The project of the Italian Swimming Federation to organise a swimming competition in Turin at short notice did not meet all the necessary FINA rulebook requirements. These requirements are in place to ensure that international competitions provide the best possible conditions to all participating athletes while maintaining a healthy calendar.<\/p>\n<p>The FINA competition calendar has evolved over many years through the active participation and collaboration of the National Federations. Changes to the calendar, received on short notice, are not consistent with FINA\u2019s long-standing agreements and precedents, and undermine existing high-level competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Aquatics athletes are at the core of FINA\u2019s activities. They fully deserve all our respect for their effort and their devotion to the sport we all love. In recent years, FINA has been actively increasing recognition for athletes\u2019 efforts at FINA events, by raising the prize money for those competitions, and by providing their respective National Federations additional tools for progress under our Development Programme.<\/p>\n<p>On prize money, FINA can recall the 2017 edition of its World Championships in Budapest (HUN), where US$ 5.8 million were distributed to the best athletes, and the upcoming FINA World Swimming Championships (25m), where US$ 2.1 million will award the top swimmers in the competition. Concerning FINA\u2019s Development Programme, the budget allocated for the different projects in the four-year cycle 2018-2021 will ascend to US$ 38 million.<\/p>\n<p>FINA will continue developing appropriate business platforms to provide an attractive calendar of events, with the participation of the best athletes. Moreover, we continue welcoming any positive approach by a partner or sponsor to improve the value of the Aquatic disciplines.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2014 The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with FINA<\/i><i>.
