According to SwimNews.com, Antwerp in Belgium has now withdrawn from hosting the European Championships (long course) in May this year. Belgian news site Sporza says here that the problem is budgetary, that they had a gap of 400,000 euros a month ago, and that they lost a key partner two weeks ago. Organizer Georges Straetemans was hopeful and had this Friday as an achievable deadline, but that LEN now apparently had no patience. A new venue is expected to be announced soon, Sporza mentions London.
