The FINA Diving World Cup in Tokyo, an Olympic qualifier that was scheduled for April 18-23, has been canceled in what a leader of the sport’s international governing body called a “drastic decision” amid coronavirus pandemic measures.
FINA is seeking a new location and dates for the competition, which serves as the last chance for nations to qualify Tokyo Olympic diving quota spots.
“The decision of re-allocating the FINA Olympic Qualifiers planned in Japan is under review,” according to FINA on Friday. “An announcement will be made next week.”
So far, China is the lone nation to qualify the full complement of divers for the Tokyo Games.
