  • No Nordic Open Masters in 2020

    Jul 9, 2020

    Dear all,

    Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the member countries of the Nordic Swimming Federation have taken the painful decision to cancel or postpone the 2020 Nordic Open Masters Championships, scheduled to be in Tórshavn, the Faroe Islands from 2nd to 4th October this year.

    It has not yet been decided whether the 2021 edition will then be in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, or in Iceland as originally agreed by the Nordic Swimming Federation members.

    On behalf of the Faroe Islands Swimming Association, I want to apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause for those already involved with these championships, and for those masters swimmers that were already planning to participate in Tórshavn. Hopefully, we will be able to make up for this in the future.

    Yours sincerely

    Rókur í Jákupsstovu

    President of the Faroe Islands Swimming Association

    Coach Kim Kyu-bong and team captain Jang Yun-jung have been handed life bans by the Korea Triathlon Federation (KTF) after team-mate Choi Suk-hyeon took her own life.

    Choi reportedly endured years of physical and verbal abuse from the coaching staff at Gyeongju City Hall’s semi-professional team.

    The 22-year-old’s death was reported last week and prompted a KTF investigation.
