Der Luxemburger Schwimmverband FLNS hat am Montag, den 6. April in einem offenen Brief an seine Vereine die Saison 2019 – 2020 für beendet erklärt und gleichzeitig die Weichen für einen sportlichen Neuanfang für die Saison 2020 – 2021 gestellt.
„Im Bureau exécutive haben wir beschlossen, dass wir als Dachorganisation des Luxemburger Schwimmsports mit fast 3000 aktiven Schwimmern, Wasserballern, Synchronschwimmern und Wasserspringern gesellschaftliche und sportliche Verantwortung übernehmen und aus Rücksicht auf die Gesundheit unserer Mitglieder alle Veranstaltungen bis zum Saisonende am 31. Juli absagen“ gibt sich Präsident Marco Stacchiotti entschlossen. „In dieser aktuell schwierigen Lage, in der sich unser Land befindet, muss jeder dazu beitragen, dass die Verbreitung der Corona-Pandemie gestoppt wird. Wir respektieren und unterstützen damit die Maßnahmen der Regierung in vollem Umfang.“
Konkret werden die FLNS-Clinic am 16. Mai; die nationale Meisterschaft (3m) im Wasserspringen am 13. Juni; das Festival de l´Avenir im Schwimmen am 16. Juni; die Open Luxembourg Nationals im Schwimmen vom 11.-12. Juli; die interregionale Luxemburger Meisterschaft im Wasserball sowie die fünf-Kilometer-Meisterschaft im Freiwasserschwimmen am 18. Juli abgesagt.
Gleichzeitig werden in der FLNS bereits die Weichen für die kommende Saison gestellt. „Der aktuelle Kader wird für die Saison 2020-2021 eingefroren, jeder Athlet behält seinen Kaderstatus. Diejenigen, die eine höhere Kadernorm geschafft haben, werden hochgestuft. Für unsere jüngsten Kader erkennen wir auch Zeiten auf der 25m-Bahn an“ gibt Christian Hansmann, Technische Direktor der FLNS, einen Einblick in die strategischen Entscheidungen des Verbandes.
Auf administrativer Seite wurden die letzten Wochen intensiv genutzt. So konnte in konstruktiven Gesprächen mit dem Sportministerium das Leistungssportbudget für 2020 aufgestellt werden. Das LIHPS unterstützte durch wöchentliche Updates - zu seinen in Krisenzeiten verfügbaren Angeboten - unsere Elite-Athleten im Trainingsprozess. Ebenfalls stehen wir in engem Austausch mit dem Sportlycée zur Selektion von Neuaufnahmen für das Schuljahr 2020-2021 und dem Centre National Sportif et Culturel in der Vorbereitung auf ein durchgehendes Training in den Sommermonaten“ zeigt sich der Technische Direktor sehr zufrieden mit der transparenten Kommunikation der institutionellen Partner.

The World Triathlon Executive Board, met via teleconference this Friday morning, has decided to extend the suspension of all activities of the International Federation until June 30th, due to the current situation worldwide with the COVID-19 outbreak. This suspension includes WTS Yokohama, three African (ATU) cups, three American (PATCO) events, four Asian (ASTC) cups, one event in Oceania (OTU) and eight in Europe, (ETU) plus the Yokohama Paratriathlon Series and a Paratriathlon World Cup.
“The suspension of all activities doesn’t mean at all that we stop working. We are meeting with athletes, coaches, National Federations, Continental Confederations, the IOC, the IPC, the organisers and our Committees involved in these activities to work on alternative dates and possibilities, as well as monitoring daily the situation while following the World Health Organization recommendations”, explained World Triathlon President and IOC member, Marisol Casado.
With the new dates for the Olympics and Paralympics now in place, World Triathlon is now working closely not only on the preparations for the events in 2021, but also with athletes, coaches and the IOC to establish new dates and events for resuming the Olympic and Paralympic Qualification rankings. We have also agreed with all five Continental Confederations to suspend the Continental events also until June 30.
World Triathlon is working closely with all affected local organisers, National Federations and Continental Confederations on each particular event, working on alternative dates when possible and coordinating a calendar to maximize the racing opportunities for athletes from all over the world once the pandemic is controlled and we can offer them fair and safe opportunities to compete.
Among other measures, the World Triathlon Board also approved the quota allocation for the Dakar Youth Olympics, to be hosted in 2022. After the IOC approved an increase of the quota from 64 (in Buenos Aires YOG 2018) to 80, the Board now approved the following allocations: all Continents would be allocated at least one extra quota place, except Oceania where, besides Australia and New Zealand, the remaining National Federations can be covered – if requested – by the Universality place. Africa will by default have one more spot with Senegal being the host nation, so actually Africa would have a minimum of five countries in both genders and the biggest opportunities for Universality Places.
The thoughts of the World Triathlon Executive family are now with everyone impacted by the virus around the world, and we hope to see you all out there on the blue carpet in the near future. In the meantime, we recommend everyone to follow the WHO and local health authorities’ recommendations, and to stay at home.

Irvine, CA – March 31, 2020 – USA Water Polo is proud to announce the 36th induction class for the USA Water Polo Hall of Fame. The five-member class boasts three Olympians, a veteran referee, and an influential water polo executive. Two-time Olympic medalists and 2012 Olympic champions Kelly Rulon and Elsie Windes join two-time Olympian and decorated coach Gavin Arroyo. Also being honored are veteran referee and Olympic Games administrator Gary Robinett and former USA Water Polo executive director and aquatics historian Bruce Wigo.
More information on the Hall of Fame Induction Luncheon will be shared when available. For more information on the Hall of Fame, including a look at all the past inductees, click here.
Congratulations to all the inductees!
More on the 2019 USA Water Polo Hall of Fame Induction Class:
Gavin Arroyo
Now well established as one of the premier water polo coaches in the country—at Long Beach State and with the USA Water Polo Men's National Team—Gavin Arroyo first made his name in the water. One of the best aquatic athletes to come out of southern California in the 1990s, Arroyo was named swimmer of the year and water polo player of the year as a senior at Villa Park High School. From there it was off to the University of California, Berkeley, where Arroyo immediately helped the water polo team win three straight NCAA Championships including an undefeated campaign in 1992. At the same time, he began carving out an important role on a veteran USA Men's Senior National Team and made his Olympic debut at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. The next year Arroyo helped the United States to a Gold medal finish at the FINA World Cup—the second World Cup crown of the decade for Team USA. Arroyo capped an eight-year run with the U.S. with a second-straight Olympic Games appearance in 2000 in Sydney. While starring for Team USA, Arroyo was one of the first American athletes to become a mainstay abroad, enjoying a seven-year career in Greece and Spain competing for Vouliagmeni, Glyfada, CN Barcelona, Olympiakos, and CN Barceloneta. Arroyo remains entrenched in water polo as a high-level coach, now in his 14th season leading Long Beach State and having won MPSF Coach of the Year honors on three occasions. Currently the acting ODP technical director, having helped implement fundamental development frameworks for more than 20 years, Arroyo also has been in charge of the Men's Development and Junior National Teams the last five years.
Gary Robinett
A former water polo player at the high school, junior college and Division 1 college levels, Gary Robinett turned to coaching age group and the high school levels before he found his calling in the water polo world as a referee. A high-level water polo official for more than 25 years, Robinett whistled at high-level international, collegiate, high school, and age-group competitions. An administrator at the 1984 and 1996 Olympic Games handling field operations, Robinett wore the whites at the FINA World Cup and Olympic Qualification Tournament in a career that spanned more than 85 international matches. A familiar face in domestic water polo, Robinett worked 23 NCAA Men's and Women's Championships, including 10 title bouts alongside three U.S. Olympic Festivals and eight Junior Olympics championships. An advocate for referee growth and enrichment when Robinett wasn't refereeing a game himself, he helped others improve their craft serving as an instructional chair for SCAF and OCSCAF and the supervisor of officials for the MPSF. A teacher for over 40 years at Valencia High School in Placentia, California, Robinett remains involved in the sport as a member of SCAF, officiating girls high school water polo, and most recently joining the American Water Polo Collections committee.
Kelly Rulon
Kelly Rulon arrived on the world water polo stage as a teenager joining the USA Senior National Team during her freshman year at UCLA. The 19-year old Rulon arrived in Athens, Greece, for the 2004 Olympic Games on the heels of helping UCLA win the 2003 NCAA Championships, the first of four she would earn. In 2004, Rulon and Team USA battled back from a heartbreaking semifinal loss to claim Bronze in just the second Olympic Games to offer women's water polo. The following year Rulon was a medal winner again, taking Silver at the FINA World Championships while adding another collegiate title with UCLA. She stepped away from the National Team in 2006, but not from water polo; she soon became one of the most dominant players in the game. In 2007 Rulon capped her star-studded career in Westwood with another title and Cutino Award honors as the best player in the college game. She was the first Bruin to win four NCAA team titles and holds the record for most goals scored. Rulon embarked on an international club career in Italy that saw Len Cup, Italian league titles, and being named the best international water polo player in the world in 2010. The year before she was lured back to the National Team ranks by her former collegiate coach Adam Krikorian, and the two picked up where they left off, claiming Gold at the FINA World Championships. After World Cup and Pan American Games crowns, Rulon found redemption from Athens with Olympic gold in 2012 in London. She's remained involved in the sport coaching age-group water polo with Corona del Mar Aquatics in southern California.
Bruce Wigo
Bruce Wigo's involvement and impact on water polo in the United States is so extensive it's hard to summarize. Stretching more than 50 years and involving a countless number of projects and initiatives, Wigo simply was all about pushing water polo forward. Introduced to the sport in the late 1960s at the Philadelphia Athletic Club by USAWP Hall of Famer Paul Barren, Wigo competed in AAU water polo before swimming took priority in his college years. He circled back to the sport in the 1970s, first as a coach for the U.S. Virgin Islands and then with the New York Athletic Club's Saturday morning youth program, where his son Wolf was introduced to the sport. He served as Zone 1 chairman and was a collegiate referee before taking on the role of interim executive director of USA Water Polo in 1991, an assignment that would last more than 12 years. In that time, working with a dedicated corps of volunteers, Wigo delivered on multiple fronts. He played a key part in securing a new training facility in Los Alamitos, boosting membership and installing coaching staffs for the Men's and Women's National Teams that set the stage success for years to come. Back on the domestic scene Wigo helped track down new sponsors for the organization, increased youth participation in conjunction with the YMCA, opened the Junior Olympics to all comers, and developed a variety of much-needed coaching materials. Wigo assisted in the production of videos and other promotional materials in an effort to bring women's water polo to the Olympic Games, a feat achieved at the 2000 Games in Sydney while also placing a premium on the health of men's college water polo and growth of the women's game. He hasn't strayed far from the sport or the aquatics world, serving as CEO of the International Swimming Hall of Fame for a dozen years and more recently working as a consultant to various aquatic-related organizations and museums.
Elsie Windes
In a sport long dominated by California athletes, Elsie Windes put Oregon women's water polo on the map at the Olympic level. Hailing from Portland, Elsie followed in the water polo footsteps of her father Doug and sister Lucy. She was a standout player in the age-group ranks in Oregon, claiming a high school championship at Beaverton while competing on the club scene with Tualatin Hills. Discovered by USA Water Polo National Team staff during a 1997 clinic, she went on to become a three-time All-American selection at the University of California, Berkeley, and more recently a Cal Hall of Fame inductee. Elsie joined the national team in 2006 with her sights set on the Olympic Games. An integral piece of Team USA's staunch defense, Elsie immediately made an impact helping the red, white, and blue to an undefeated 2007 campaign, which included a FINA World Championship. Windes made her Olympic debut in 2008 as Team USA claimed Silver in Beijing before adding another World Championship title the following summer in Rome. The wins continued as Windes was part of Team USA's first FINA World Cup title in over 30 years with a Gold medal in New Zealand in the summer of 2010. Windes' Team USA career culminated in London in 2012 as the United States earned Gold for the first time in program history. Now a wife and mother of three, Windes was recently back in the pool for a scrimmage with her sister's water polo club, bringing her water polo journey full circle.

"Faced with the unprecedented need to reschedule the Olympic Games, our friends at the IOC and Tokyo 2020 have reacted with great speed and professionalism. To already know the dates is very helpful to federations and athletes everywhere. FINA would like to express its best wishes to all those who have committed themselves to making the aquatics competitions of Tokyo 2020 the great success that I know they will be," said FINA President Dr Julio C. Maglione.
FINA will now consult with the organisers of the 2021 FINA World Championships in Fukuoka (JPN) to examine a revision to the proposed dates for the Championships (initially scheduled to take place from July 16-August 1, 2021). FINA will also consult with stakeholders including athletes, coaches, national federations, TV partners and sponsors in order to determine the most appropriate solution.
Meanwhile, FINA would like to express its sincere thanks to Tokyo 2020 and to Japan for its commitment to hosting a rescheduled Olympic Games. FINA would also like to encourage the aquatics sports family to continue to closely follow the advice of public health authorities in helping prevent the further spread of COVID-19.

40kmh winds propel them around Lençóis Maranhenses National Park.
The world's best kitesurfers had to deal with the strong winds blowing across the striking blue lagoons and immense sand dunes of stunning Lençóis Maranhenses National Park in Brazil at Red Bull Rally dos Ventos back on September 17, 2017.
Here is all you need to know:
- Forty-five competitors were propelled by winds of over 40kmh through 65km of picturesque blue lagoons and huge sand dunes in one of South America's most breathtaking settings on Brazil's north Atlantic coast.
- The 380,000-acre park includes 70km of coastline with rolling sand dunes inland, whose valleys become freshwater lagoons during the rainy season.
- Four species listed as endangered such as the neotropical otter and the West Indian manatee roam the park, while it has become a popular destination for ecotourists with as many as 60,000 visitors a year.
- Big Hollywood movies Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019) used the park's other-worldly landscape to double as the planet of Vormir.
- Brazilian star Alex Neto defended his title on home soil by pipping then world champion Carlos Mario Bebê with American Susi Mai dominating the women's race.
