Are all the World Cup stops: Germany, Canada & Indiana FINA qualifying meets for the 16th FINA World Championships 25M in Melbourne AUS?
Honestly surprised Popovici isn’t going to be attending the European world cups given that he wants to swim at SC worlds and presumably wants to improve his walls/turns
What about south america games in Asuncion Paraguay
In Hungary from Oct 21 to 23 there will be a national long course meet in Veszprém organized by the swimming federation and according to coach Balazs, Milak will swim there as he won’t go to the World Cup nor the World Champs in Melbourne. However, he will be joining the Hungarian SC nationals in November.
