The IOC has just announced that the men's and women's 10k open water races have been added to the program for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
This is a great time to create open water events that are dual sanctioned with USMS and USA Swimming.
I would assume the Olympic qualifying requirements will be tied to placement at FINA championship events plus placement at national championship event.
