Nagoya is a mirror of the failure of water sports.
Iran's water sports did not win a single medal at the Asian Games in Nagoya, despite participating in three disciplines of swimming, diving and water polo. The water polo's failure to repeat Jakarta's bronze medal, Sam Vazir's fourth in diving, and the swimmers' failure in the finals, showed once again the weakness of these disciplines at the Asian level.
These results were achieved while Mohsen Rizbani has been the head of the water sports association since 1392 and was elected for the fourth term this year. After the end of the competitions, he saw the lack of preparatory games, visa problems and camp restrictions as the reasons for the teams' failure, but the question still arises, why after more than 13 years of management was not formulated an effective plan to reduce the gap with the Asian powers?
