The short course World Cup in Abu Dhabi was the last of the swimming championships that remained in the calendar for 2020. Now it also moves forward one year, from December 15-20 this year to December 10-12, 2021.
"We have been working closely with the United Arab Emirates in recent weeks on this, and we believe this is the best solution for all parties," Julio Maglione, president of the International Swimming Association (Fina), said in a press release.
2020 looked like a championship-heavy year for the Swedish national team swimmers, but the corona pandemic has basically emptied the competition calendar. Previously, both the Tokyo Olympics and the Budapest Sim European Championships were moved to next year. In addition, the SM was canceled in Halmstad.
