2020 Olympic Trials to be held in Windsor

For the first time ever, the City of Windsor will be hosting Olympic trials.

In May, Diving Plongeon Canada will hold the 2020 Olympic trials at the Windsor International Aquatic and Training Centre.

Mitch Gellar with Diving Canada said Canada's top divers will compete in Windsor for a spot on the Tokyo 2020 Olympic team.

"In order to even compete here, and be eligible to compete at the Olympic Trials they have to achieve certain standards both nationally and internationally," said Gellar.

The event is expected to host around 32 athletes competing in eight different events.

The Olympic trials will be held from May 21 until May 24. This is following the FINA Diving Grand Prix- Canada Cup that will take place at the WIATC on the weekend of May 14, 2020. Diving Canada announced fans who purchase tickets to the Canada Cup will also receive tickets to the Olympic trials.
