The head of swimming's international governing body says he is not expecting the new aquatics center for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to have any of the headaches that organizers in Rio were forced to deal with.
"Our executive director came here one month ago, talking with the governor of the city and we agree with the condition they propose," FINA President Julio Cesar Maglione said after meeting Monday with 2020 organizing committee chief Yoshiro Mori.
"I visited the place where they are beginning to build the new swimming pool and I don't doubt that it will have all the requirements for an excellent championship, because the last condition in Rio was different," Maglione said. "We are sure that it will be fine here."
