World Aquatics Championships 2024: preview
Seventy-six gold medals will separate the best from the rest at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships in Doha, a 17-day event that encompasses six aquatic disciplines: artistic swimming, open water swimming, diving, high diving, water polo and, of course, swimming.
It's a highly unusual event, because the Olympics are only a few months away. Never before have the World Aquatics Championships and Olympic Games taken place in the same year, and what's crazier still is that Doha 2024 is the last-chance saloon for numerous athletes that are yet to qualify for Paris 2024.
Tom Daley, Kate Douglass and Adam Peaty will be three of the main attractions, though as far as stories go, there are none as fascinating as that of 1m and 3m diver Li Shixin, who won back-to-back world titles for China, before retiring and coaching Australia, gaining Aussie citizenship, coming out of retirement to represent the Blue Ensign, and immediately picking up where he left off.
Here's how to watch World Aquatics Championships live streams wherever you are. We’ve also listed the full 2024 World Aquatics Championships schedule further down the page.
