The European Championships would have been decided during the month of May, but because of the prevailing coronary pandemic most championships, in all sports, have had to be canceled or postponed.

The European Championship was temporarily advanced to August, but now looks to be pushed even further.

- What has been said is that it probably can't go in August. It is not realistic, as the situation in the world is right now, to arrange some competitions in August. You are now working to find another date for it.

The EM can be set

An alternative is to move the championship forward one year from the original plan, which would mean it will be decided in May next year, 2021.

- It is related to the Olympics (which is moved to next summer) and the World Cup, which puts sticks in the wheel.

LEN must take into account when the international swimming association, Fina, decides when the World Cup will take place. The Fukuoka World Cup would be decided next summer but will have to move because of the Olympics.

- Everything is really governed by the World Cup in fukuoka, which has not yet been determined when it will go. It must be decided first.

Von Holst and LEN will have a telephone meeting on Sunday and should Fina have made a decision about the World Cup until then, you will be able to quickly make decisions about the European Championship - which can even be canceled.

- It may be so, but I don't think so. I think you are very eager to implement this.

It is also clear that JEM and open water are set completely.
