From the ASCA conference going on this week. This is copied from swimnews. Does anyone believe that there will be a new world swimming governing body?

Looks like some heavy hitting politics going on.
Who does the insular IOC recognize and is not about to recognize any other body? The now more insular FINA.
What makes you say that the IOC would not recognize a new org? I realize that there are significant political forces behind all of this, but if you can shed any light...
I just don't see elite athletes wanting to go to some other event at the same time as the Olympics are being held.
So the swimmers who get 3rd and 4th in their events at Trials are not elite? I'm going to assume you didn't mean that. If swimmers that missed the Olympics are funded, they would go to an international meet. You'd definitely get top talent. The only problem is that many countries don't have our depth.
