An annual tradition from me, the World Aquatics Championships begin on Friday and there is once again no broadcaster in place in the UK. This is despite an EBU deal covering many other territories in Europe as last year. Coverage will be available via the All Aquatics Eurovision Sport website.
It is worth noting that this will not be a full strength event (in swimming for definite and most likely other disciplines too). This is a bonus championship and the first one ever in an Olympic year. Fukuoka's hosting got delayed from 2021 to 2022 (due to the Olympic postponement) and then deferred until 2023 because of Japan's COVID efforts, with Doha being displaced from 2023 to a bonus event this year.
