FINA PRESIDENT S MESSAGE FINA DIVING GRAND PRIX 2015 It is my great pleasure to introduce you the FINA Diving Grand Prix 2015, a competition that once more will gather the top athletes in an attractive circuit of meets worldwide. Nine stops in three continents are on the programme with the kick-off taking place on February 20 in Rostock (GER) and the conclusion of the competition scheduled in Gold Coast (AUS) on November 1. The 2015 Grand Prix will also include Mexico (city to be confirmed), Gatineau (CAN), San Juan (PUR), Madrid (ESP), Italy (city to be confirmed), Singapore (SIN) and Kuala Lumpur (MAS). Still with vivid memories of the outstanding FINA Diving World Cup 2014 in Shanghai (CHN), the Grand Prix will be an excellent occasion to enhance the visibility and media exposure of diving worldwide. With the active support of our National Federations, sponsors and partners, and TV networks, the FINA Family has good reasons to celebrate: our Sport is growing in the five continents, attracting more athletes, more organisers and more spectators. I would take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all the National Member Federations and Organisers of this FINA Diving Grand Prix 2015. Their professionalism, efficiency and support are key factors to the success of this event. Good luck to all the participants in the FINA Diving Grand Prix 2015 and the best to win! Dr. Julio C. Maglione FINA President
