    A New Zealand woman swimming in the sea 153 km southeast of Auckland has died after a suspected shark attack.

    According to the police on Friday, the fatal water incident occurred at Waihi Beach, a popular tourist spot about two hours’ drive from Auckland, a major city in the north of New Zealand’s North Island, late on Thursday.

    “Emergency services were called about 5:10 pm after reports of a woman being injured in the water. Initial indications suggest she may have been injured by a shark,” said a police statement.

    “Sadly, she died at the scene a short time later,” it said, adding the death has been referred to the coroner.

    After a ten-month break due to the Coronavirus pandemic that has highly impacted the world of sport, FINA is delighted to announce the return to competition.

    The Men’s Water Polo World League 2020 resumes on Friday as the European teams will play a three-day tournament in Debrecen (HUN) from January 8-10, 2021.

    In order to conclude the European rounds for the 2020 edition of the World League, which took place over three Game Days (12 Nov 2019, 17 Dec 2019, 11 Feb 2020), the men’s teams are left with a single tournament in Hungary in order for them to secure a berth to the Super Final to be held from June 26 – July 2, 2021.

    The competition’s schedule in Debrecen unfolds as follows:

    Day 1 – Friday 8 January

    GAME 1 SRB v ESP
    GAME 2 CRO v MNE
    GAME 3 FRA v GRE
    GAME 4 ITA v HUN

    Day 2 – Saturday 9 January

    GAME 5 LG1 v LG3
    GAME 6 SRB v LG4
    GAME 7 WG1 v WG4
    GAME 8 ESP v WG3

    Day 3 Sunday 10 January

    GAME 9 LG5 v LG6
    GAME 10 WG5 v WG6
    GAME 11 LG7 v LG8
    GAME 12 WG7 v WG8

    The eight teams selected for the Magyar tournament correspond to the first two teams in each of the groups that had played so far the European preliminaries. The 2020 rankings before the competition was suspended were as follows:

    GROUP A: 1. Italy, 6 pts (2W); 2. Greece, 3 pts (1W, 1L); 3. Georgia, 0 pts (2L)โ€จ
    GROUP B: 1. France, 4 pts (1W, 1L); 2. Hungary, 3 pts (1W, 1L); 3. Russia, 2 pts (1W, 1L)โ€จ
    GROUP C: 1. Serbia, 6 pts (2W); 2. Croatia, 3 pts (1W, 1L); 3. Netherlands, 0 pts (2L)โ€จ
    GROUP D: 1. Montenegro, 6 pts (2W); 2. Spain, 3 pts (1W, 1L); 3. Ukraine, 0 pts (2L)

    At the end of the week in Debrecen, four teams will qualify for the event’s Super Final and will face the best non-European teams of the InterContinental Cup which will be played in Indianapolis (USA) from April 26- May 2, 2021.

    Daily news reports and photos about the tournament in Debrecen will be available on FINA website and on FINA social media throughout the weekend.

    The Women’s European preliminaries will resume on February 2 for the Game Day #5 in various European cities.

    The last FINA competition (all disciplines combined) was held on March 6-8, 2020 when the first leg of the FINA Artistic Swimming World Series was staged in Paris (FRA).
