The FINA World Championships are the World Championships for aquatics, a huge competition where athletes from all aquatic disciplines show their talent. The shape of today’s World Championships is very different from the event held almost 50 years ago. After the first attempt to unify all aquatic sports, the second edition of the FINA World Championships was hosted two years later in Cali, Colombia, in 1975. Three editions took place in Asia: 2001 (Japan), 2011 (China), and 2019 (South Korea), and three more editions took place in Australia. Among the editions of the FINA World Championships, some have a special place in swimming history.
