The swimming disciplines are set to kick off at the World Aquatics Championships 2024 from February 11 to February 18, 2024, in Doha, Qatar. This is the first time the championships are happening in the Middle East.
The 21st edition of the World Aquatics Championships is taking place at three different venues, with Aspire Dome hosting the swimming events. The event will be crucial for the swimmers as a build-up to the Paris Olympics 2024.
On Feb. 11, Kate Douglass, Sydney Pickrem, Ahmed Hafnaoui, Felix Auboeck, Danas Rapsys, Adam Peaty, Nic Fink, Chad le Clos, Claire Curzan, Arno Kamminga, Nicolò Martinenghi, James Wilby, Erika Fairweather, and Li Bingjie, are a few top athletes to watch out for at the World Aquatics Championships.
Douglass, who has been listed in six events at the World Aquatics Championships, will face a strong challenge in the women’s 200m medley event as Pickrem, Dutch’s Marrit Steenbergen, and Anastasia Gorbenko of Israel as the USA swimmer will be aiming to defend her title.
While in the men’s 100m breaststroke, three-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty will start as a favorite but will face stiff competition from three-time World Champion (LC) Nic Fink from the USA at the World Aquatics Championships 2024.
The day at the Doha World Aquatics Championships will witness swimmers battling in medal events like women’s and men’s 400m freestyle, and women’s and men’s 4x100m freestyle relay events.
Meanwhile, the semi-finals are scheduled in the women's 100m butterfly, 200m medley, and men's 100m breaststroke, and 50m butterfly disciplines.
