FINA announced this week that the 2021 World Short Course Championships will now be held a year after their intended date. Originally, the championships were to be held in December 2020 but they will now be held in December 2021, to fall in line with the original Olympic schedule. However, there have been some doubts that the Olympic Games might not be safe to hold next summer and IOC President\u00a0Thomas Bach\u00a0<\/strong>said that if the Games cannot go on in 2021, then they will not happen altogether.<\/p>\n

In lighter news,\u00a0Dean Boxall\u00a0<\/strong>won the ASCTA coach of the year award in Australia, and\u00a0Anton Chupkov\u00a0<\/strong>was named to the official 30 Under 30 list by Russian Forbes Magazine.<\/p>\n
