  • Nick Thierry Recipient of the 2013 R. Max Ritter Award Presented by United States Aquatic Sports
    Nick Thierry Recipient of the 2013 R. Max Ritter Award Presented by United States Aquatic Sports Nick Thierry is the 2013 recipient of the R. Max Ritter Award presented posthumously and in recognition of his life-long affair with swimming. United States Aquatic Sports honors the memory of a man whose unselfish contributions including keeping the history book of swimming straight, simple and true for the benefit of athletes, coaches and also for national federations as well as the international body FINA. "Before his passing on October 2, 2012 Nick invested in the development of a database that contains 40 years of swimming rankings and statistics. That immense work is part of his legacy. When swimmers swim head to head in elite international competition, their foremost goal is to beat the opposition. Once the race is over and they glance up to the scoreboard to see their finish place, their next thought is, "My time, did I do a personal best? Was it a record?" Moments after swimmers hit the finish wall, Nick Thierry took over. Nick Thierry kept the record of the sport alive for more than four decades as the keeper of the world rankings. He was the bastion of swimming statistics and a pioneer in the art of swimming news. His guardianship of the record of athletes performances has been treasured by swimmers, coaches, sports scientists, journalists, sports institutions and swimming federations since he first started to register and chronicle all meets that produced performances worthy of a place in the top 300 across all events. Born in Hungary on December 2, 1938, Nick spent the first eight years of his life in Budapest.

  • FINA Water Polo Guide 2017-2021 2
    FINA Water Polo Guide 2017-2021 MESSAGE FROM THE FINA PRESIDENT Dear Friends, It is my great pleasure to present you the FINA Water Polo Guide 2017-2021, a valuable document for those who are involved in the promotion and the development of this historical and highly-athletic team sport. Water Polo was the first team sport to integrate the Olympic programme in 1950, and remain as of today a discipline in constant evolution. Some landmarks in water polo evolution can be mentioned: the inclusion of the women’s tournament in the Games, the launch of the yearly Men’s and Women’s Water Polo World League which gather the best squads of the planet, the creation of the FINA Water Polo Referees School and the FINA World Men’s Water Polo Development Trophy. More recently, the new format of the FINA World Men and Women’s Youth and Junior Championships was established, with this competition being contested by players of 18 years old and under in even years and 20 and under in odd years. FINA’s strategy is to enhance water polo’s image worldwide, develop the sport at the grassroots level, thus seducing more young players across the five continents. This game creates a thrilling and exciting show, generating the interest from the media, the sponsors and the fans of our team sport. I would like to take this opportunity to warmly thank our prestigious partners, our National Member Federations, for their continuous support to this discipline. The FINA Water Polo Guide is a key tool to help our players, coaches and referees in their activities.

  • R. Max Ritter History
    The R. Max Ritter Award Richard Max Ritter (November 7, 1886 – May 24, 1974) was born in Magdeburg, Germany and competed for Germany in the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics. He was educated in London from 1906 to 1909 and in 1910 he immigrated to the United States. He was one of the 8 founders of FINA on July 19, 1908 where the group set uniform international rules for swimming, diving, water polo and established world records for swimming. Ritter was the only person to have served in each of the three officer positions within FINA. Ritter served as FINA Honorary Secretary and FINA Honorary Treasurer. In 1960 he was elected FINA President, the first American to serve in a FINA leadership position. At the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, under Ritter's leadership, FINA membership grew to more than 90 National Federations. He served as the treasurer of the US Olympic Committee and was active for more than 50 years in the Amateur Athletic Union. In 1965 he was inducted as an Honor Contributor in the International Swimming Hall of Fame. The R. Max Ritter Award is donated by the Ritter Family and is presented annually by United States Aquatic Sports to the organization or individual of a FINA member country who has contributed the most to the advancement of understanding and good will among nations through international participation in amateur aquatic sports.

  • President's Message
    A publication of the Association of National Olympic Comittees of Africa October 2012 President’s message Mauritius 2012 : implementing resolutions together! ear member associations, dear friends, It has always been a great pleasure for me to address you every month. This Dissue of Anoca update is peculiar in that it comes after the Olympic and Para- lympic Games, which were recently celebrated in London, the British capital. Pre- ceding issues, I at least believe, have carried abundant information about this mul- tidisciplinary event. And, as you will notice in this one, we have had no moment of respite. As a matter of fact, the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa recently organised the 29th Seminar for Secretaries General of African NOCs on 20 and 21 September 2012 in Mauritius. Placed under the theme: “ANOCA, 30 years after: what vision for the future?” this meeting was heavily attended and the quality discussions satisfactory overall. We noticed, with pleasure, that various NOCs were strongly represented in Mauritius. In fact, 48 out of the 53 NOCs effectively parti- cipated in the deliberations, representing a 90.5% participation rate. This is all the more satisfactory, if we consider the geographical position of the host country, Mauritius, which could have been a deterrent factor to delegates. All credit thus goes to the entire African Olympic Movement, as most guests travelled to Mauritius to discuss issues affecting the future of sport and Olympism on the continent. Concerning the quality of deliberations, delegates brainstormed a series of themes, such as “Seminar for Secretaries General: balance sheet, impact and future prospects” “Impact of women within African NOCs,” “Evaluation of Africa’s participation in the 2012 Olympic Games.” Sound resolutions were taken, all in a bid to work for the sustained development of sport in Africa, following the drop in the medal haul in London 2012.

  • Tamas Gyarfas, President of the Hungarian Swimming Association, Concerning the Behind-The-Scenes Debates Inside FINA and LEN
    id17251089 pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com A letter written by Tamas Gyarfas, President of the Hungarian Swimming Association, concerning the behind-the-scenes debates inside FINA and LEN. This was sent to all LEN Member Federations as well as to swim and sports media throught the Europe. Dear President, I am writing this letter now, although I never imagined such an absurd situation would occur in which I must respectfully ask the LEN member Federation representatives once again, to support "with their votes "my candidature for the position of FINA Bureau membership, at the upcoming FINA Congress. The reason why I decided to do so is, that according to the latest news, the voting process already held in Zurich, is going to be repeated at the FINA Congress on 24 July in Rome. You have already backed me once on 28 September 2008 in Zurich, Switzerland. As you certainly recall at the LEN Congress, in the presence of FINA President Mustapha Larfaoui, FINA Honorary Secretary Bartolo Consolo, and FINA Honorary Treasurer Dr Julio Maglione, the delegates unanimously decided to elect - by secret ballot in that particular place and time "the four persons to automatically represent Europe in the FINA Bureau between 2009 and 2013, and the official nominees eligible according to the World at large procedure in Rome. The result of the vote is well known and minuted: Nory Kruchten 73, Paolo Barelli 61, Tamas Gyarfas (undersigned) 60, Dimitris Diathesopoulos 59. (Sven Folvik ranked 5th and Christa Thiel 6th).
