"We are trying hard to attract more athletes, audience and sponsors by modernising our aquatic events. We have brought high diving to the World Championships in Barcelona last year, and we have been thinking about bringing mixed diving as the next step. We will discuss the idea at the FINA World Aquatics Convention in Doha in November," he said.
Mr. Marculescu added that FINA will hold a seven-stop high diving World Series and a World Cup - the first edition of which will be launched this August - to promote the spectacular and challenging discipline.
