New blocks installed for the Worlds. I've read that the use of the new blocks was postponed due at lack of availability. A change of mind of FINA ? You can see it on the official website. look at this image.

    there would be a need for a pre-race weigh in, and each swimmer would then be given a weigh belt, so that all the smaller swimmers weigh as much as the largest for each event. or set a min weight, so the larger swimmers would be at disadvantage, but the smaller swimmers would have to wear weight belts to reach that min weight. And, at long last, a handicapping system is brought into the world of swimmers when the King of Sports (Swimming) is finally equal to the Sport of Kings (Horse-racing.)
