WELCOME ADDRESS It is my pleasure to welcome you all in Kazan, Russia, for the 16th FINA World Championships, to be held from July 24 – August 9, 2015. In the major FINA competition of the year, our best athletes will be gathered in this exciting city for two weeks of unforgettable moments in a unique environment. The capital of Tatarstan is definitively ready to host a competition that will be a milestone in the FINA history. This achievement would not be successful without the continuous support of our 208 National Member Federations. Their work and devotion to the cause of our Sport deserves a scenario like the one being prepared in Kazan. The elite of swimmers, water polo players, synchronised swimmers, pool and high divers, and open water swimmers will show to the world that the steps undertaken by our Federations in terms of development of the FINA disciplines worldwide are fruitful. We must not forget that for the first time in our history, these Championships will be immediately followed by the FINA World Masters Championships, the biggest FINA event in terms of participation. This will create an added-value for Kazan, a city that will literally live at the Aquatics’ rhythm for almost a month. In this occasion, I express my gratitude to the Organisers of the 16th FINA World Championships who have made their best to provide an outstanding competition: high quality venues, involvement of the local authorities in the promotion of the event, strong marketing and sponsoring programmes, top- level TV production, and rich cultural programmes. Your mission, as media representatives, is to emphasise these successes and to transmit to your readers, radio listeners or TV viewers the magic performances of our Stars. FINA’s philosophy is to constantly improve the image of its World Championships, a truly Aquatic Festival: you play an essential role in this strategy. Thank you for your continuous support and help. Dr. Julio C. Maglione FINA President 4 MEDIA GUIDE Dear friends, We are pleased to welcome you to Kazan — the capital of Tatarstan, the city with a millennium- long history, one of the oldest cities of our country! On behalf of our team, I would like to thank you for your interest in the information coverage of the 16th FINA World Championships 2015, which is hosted by Kazan. Our main task is to broadcast the Championships worldwide as new legends, victories and names will be born here that will be long remembered and talked about. Director General of the Executive Directorate for Sports Projects – Official Organiser of the 16th FINA World Championships 2015 in Kazan Azat Kadyrov 16th FINA World Championships 2015 in Kazan 5 2. GENERAL INFORMATION 2.1. Russia It is the largest country in the world, which occupies more than one-eighth of the Earth's land area. It extends across northern Asia and 40 % of the territory of Europe, spanning 11 time zones, offering a range of climatic zones and landscapes. Russia has the world's greatest reserves of mineral and energy resources and is considered one of the world's top energy producers. The population of Russia is approximately 146 million people, making it the ninth largest country in the world by population. The political status of Russia is reflected in its being a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a member of the G8, APEC, the SCO, WTO, and is a leading member of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The Russian language is the official language of the Russian Federation. The use of English is widespread in Russia, including Kazan, which is considered a student city. Sport has always been one of Russia's top national priorities. Soviet and Russian athletes have always been prominent on the international sporting stage, excelling in Olympic sports and among the top medal winners at the Olympic Games and World Championships. 6 MEDIA GUIDE The government strongly believes that healthy lifestyle choices in a variety of sports will lead to a healthier society.At the same time, hosting major international sporting events provides a perfect opportunity to welcome guests from all over the world, share the celebration of sport and youth, and increase the social benefits created by these events. The success of the bidding campaigns is an extraordinary example of the government's commitment to hosting international sports events: in 2013 Kazan hosted the 27th Summer Universiade, in 2014 the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games were held in Sochi, in 2015 the FINA World Championships and FINA World Masters Championships will take place in Kazan and in 2018 eleven cities of Russia will play host to the FIFA World Cup. 16th FINA World Championships 2015 in Kazan 7 2.2.

Six other cities submitted applications, but their bids were dropped by the IOC in 1996. These cities were Istanbul, Lille, Rio de Janeiro, San Juan, The 2004 Summer Olympic Seville, Saint Petersburg and Cali. Games (Greek: Therinoí Olympiakoí Agónes 2004 ), officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad and commonly known as Athens 2004, were held in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004 with the motto Welcome Home. 10,625 athletes competed, some 600 more than expected, accompanied by 5,501 team officials from 201 countries. There were 301 medal events in 28 different sports. Athens 2004 marked the first time since the 1996 Summer Olympics that all countries with a National Olympic Committee were in attendance. 2004 also marked the return of the games to the city where they began. Having previously hosted the Summer Olympic Games in 1896, Athens became one of only a handful of cities to have hosted the Summer Games twice or more (together with London, Paris, and Los Angeles). The 2004 Summer Games were hailed as "unforgettable, dream games" by IOC President Jacques Rogge, and left Athens with a significantly improved infrastructure, including a new airport, ring road, and subway system. The cost of the 2004 Athens Summer Games has been cited as a contributor to the Greek government-debt crisis. Some of the venues lie vacant and rotting, while others are in use; the ones at the Olympic Park and others in the coastal area are in regular use.
