KAZAN 2015, XVI FINA World Championships
Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan and the sixth largest city of Russia, hosted the 16th edition of the FINA World Championships. From July 24 to August 9, 2015, this international event brought together 2,500 athletes that competed, for the 75 gold medals, in six kinds of sport: swimming, open water swimming, diving and high diving, synchronized swimming and water polo. These competitions have guaranteed a place at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games to the top athletes.
500.000 spectators took part in the event, which has been considered so important by the Russian people that Central Bank of Russia decided to issue a limited edition commemorative money.
For the occasion, Myrtha Pools installed 3 temporary pools: a 35×22 water polo pool, located in a temporary arena, built in the parking area of the Aquatics Palace aquatics centre, and two 50×26 pools a competition pool and a warmup pool– each of which was installed in the Kazan Arena Stadium.
During the FINA World Championships, this football stadium was divided into two distinct areas: the former was open to the public and it hosted the swimming and synchronized swimming competitions, the latter was a restricted area, reserved to the training of the athletes.
These two pools were equipped with competition accessories, among which two removable bulkheads. All the three pools were built in only a month and a half of work: a very short time of installation, guaranteed by the exclusive modular system of Myrtha Technology.[:]
