Before the 2014 World Short Course Championships are held in Doha, Qatar from December 3rd-7th, FINA will gather for its “extraordinary congress” where they will discuss rules tables.
Vaguely – the congress will stick to the agenda listed below. However, in addition, there will be a few very important announcements coming out of the day.
That includes the announcement of the 2014 FINA World Athletes of the Year across its 6 disciplines, plus the approval Olympic Qualifying Standards.
The IOC has already announced the Olympic qualifying procedure, but have yet to name the times that will affiliate to that procedure.
Among other topics to be discussed will be the implementation of Junior Short Course World Records to match the long course records that FINA began tracking earlier this year.
