A very successful SUDS Open European TriGames has come to an end. Countries were delighted to be able to get-together after the worldwide shut-down of sporting events, due to Corona Virus pandemic. Our swimmers were so excited to be able to compete once again. It was very different – masks had to worn at all times, proof of vaccination, temperature checks and plenty of sanitizing at all times. No spectators were allowed into to swimming venue due to Covid Protocols. Thanks to the organizers, the competition was livestreamed.
A total of 15 Countries participated. 14 European: Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Estonia, Spain, France, Italy, Romania, Czech Republic, Poland, Portugal, Turkey, United Kingdom, Russia. 1 Open: United States of America.
87 swimmers – 51 men & 36 women (4 Mosaic women).
There were only 2 Artistic teams competing – Italy & Poland. Congratulations to Poland who only started training in March this year, put on excellent performances. We look forward to welcoming many more Artistic swimmers to our competition in Albufeira, Portugal next year.
