The International Aquatics Federation (World Aquactics) may decide, within one year, that Russian and Belarusian athletes return to participate in competitions under its auspices. About it in an interview Swimming World said Hussein Al-Mussalam, the head of the organization.
“Previously, we had a firm position not to let Russians and Belarusians in. In April, I instructed the bureau to appoint Maureen Cruz to head the working group on this issue.
Maureen and her team do a great job interviewing people and collecting their opinions. It is important to hear as many opinions as possible.
The final decision is expected this year,” he said.
Russian swimmers were banned from participating in the World and European Championships in March 2022 due to the situation in Ukraine.
