The Russian Masters Swimming Championships take places in Kazan between April 17 and 19. The format of the tournament is as close to FINA World Masters Championships as possible.
More than 50,000 tickets for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and Pilgrim show go on sale as the preparation for the 16th FINA World Championships passes the 100-days-to-go mark. A record number of tickets has been sold in a single day - around 10% of the released volume of tickets.
The FINA World Championships Opening Ceremony is a protocol event hosted for all the participants of the tournament: athletes, FINA Family, FINA Partners, Championships Partners, FINA National Member Federations, and the Organising Committee.
The symbol of the 16th FINA World Championships 2015, the capsule filled with water of the Kazanka River, returned to Earth after spending more than five months on the International Space Station and will soon arrive in Kazan. The capsule handover ceremony took place in the Star City (Moscow Region) in the lead-up to April 12, Cosmonautics Day, the date of the first human space flight.
Yet another stage of the volunteer programme for the 16th FINA World Championships has concluded. Interviews with candidates seeking to lend their support to the Kazan 2015 Organising Committee took place in Naberezhnye Chelny on March 30, 2015, this putting an end to the search of volunteers for the upcoming mega aquatics event. In order to build a team of the most motivated and skilled volunteers, recruiters from Tatarstan and 20 regions of Russia has been working hard for 130 days.
