Julio Maglione, recently re-elected head of FINA, has re-appointed Hungary’s Tamás Gyárfás as a member of the swimming world federation’s highest, eight-strong decision-making board for another four-year term, Maglione told a press conference on Sunday, ahead of the first finals of the World Aquatics Championship now under way in Budapest.
Maglione was re-elected for his third four-year presidential term at a FINA congress in Budapest on Saturday.
Events during the first week of the Aquatics championship attracted a total 180,000 people, Éva Szántó, head of the organising committee, said at the press conference.
