FINA President Julio Maglione thanked the national federations and Organising Committees for their hard work throughout the year prior to the last competition of 2018.

The Grand Prix events also add to the growth of the sport, he said.

“The Grand Prix is a unique opportunity to enhance the visibility and media exposure of diving worldwide,” Maglione said.

“It provides a platform for divers all around the world to practice at an international level, close to their home.”
