Silver Lining Could Turn To Gold: <\/span>
\nThe Positive Side Of The Olympics Postponement<\/span><\/h1>\n
By Michael Randazzo<\/span><\/p>\n
The Olympic postponement was hardly perceived as a positive, but it could lead to hope and opportunity for any men\u2019s or women\u2019s water polo team that aspires to Olympic competition\u2014including the United States\u2019 national teams.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Now that new dates have been set for the Tokyo Games, the question becomes: Who will show up for the delayed Olympic party? The March pronouncement that the 2020 Olympics will take place in summer 2021 will definitely have its challenges. For starters, the task of scheduling that leads up to Tokyo 2021 is monumental.<\/p>\n
The coronavirus outbreak has disrupted all national teams\u2019 calibrated preparation, and the final qualifiers for the men\u2019s and women\u2019s brackets have yet to be determined. Three spots remain unfilled for the men and two for the women.<\/p>\n
There are myriad FINA polo events and professional play to be rescheduled when competition resumes. The LEN Champions League has suspended play until further notice, it\u2019s unlikely teams will get back in the water before July, and there\u2019s the question of when\u2014and where\u2014the Final Eight tournament, originally scheduled for June in Genoa, Italy, will occur.<\/p>\n
And while the rescheduling assures the Olympics a coronavirus-proof date, there\u2019s the matter of the 2021 FINA World Aquatics Championships, currently planned for July 16-Aug. 1 in Fukuoka, Japan. The most important aquatics competition besides the Games\u2014and a substantial source of funding for international federations\u2014cannot be held simultaneously with the Olympics, slated for July 23-Aug. 8.<\/p>\n
The question is: when will FINA Worlds take place, and how might that impact athletes\u2019 preparation? Already, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has postponed its championship until 2022.<\/p>\n
As of early April, \u201cFINA is working with organizers of 2021 World Championships in Fukuoka to find the best solution to reschedule Championships, considering the interests of all stakeholders,\u201d explained Mark Koganov, vice chairman of FINA\u2019s Technical Water Polo Committee. \u201cVery soon, we will have new dates for one of the biggest sport events outside of the Olympic Games.\u201d<\/p>\n
Until that happens, this is a significant\u2014and potentially disruptive\u2014loose end.<\/p>\n
