Cross-Continental Race Delayed

32nd Samsung Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swimming Race, initially scheduled to 12th of July, is postponed to Sunday, 23 August.

The event, annually staged by the Turkish Olympic Committee since 1989, is decided to be moved by six weeks following the discussions with Turkey’s Ministry of Youth and Sports as well as the Ministry of Health. The unique race in which the participants swim from Asia to Europe will gather over two thousand swimmers from several countries once again on 23 August.

The 1200-person international quota for the 32nd Samsung Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swimming Race had filled within just three hours of opening on 4 January.
