Hold your breath, swimming fans! In a major announcement that’s making waves across the sports world, World Aquatics has officially named Beijing as the host city for the 2026 World Short Course Swimming Championships. This marks yet another feather in the cap for China’s capital city that previously hosted the spectacular 2008 Summer Olympics.
The decision, announced earlier today through World Aquatics’ official channels, positions Beijing as the center of global swimming attention come 2026. ‘This is tremendous recognition of China’s growing influence in aquatic sports,’ commented one excited fan on Weibo, echoing the sentiments of many.
For those unfamiliar with the event, the Short Course Championships differ from regular swimming competitions by being held in 25-meter pools (as opposed to Olympic-standard 50-meter pools). This creates faster races, more turns, and arguably more excitement – making it a fan favorite format worldwide.
Beijing’s selection continues China’s impressive streak of hosting major international sports events. Just in the past decade, we’ve seen the 2014 Youth Olympics in Nanjing, the 2015 World Championships in Athletics, and of course the spectacular 2022 Winter Olympics – all demonstrating China’s world-class event hosting capabilities.
The announcement video released by World Aquatics (linked below) showcases Beijing’s state-of-the-art aquatic facilities that undoubtedly helped secure the bid. The city’s National Aquatics Center, famously known as the ‘Water Cube’ from the 2008 Olympics, will likely serve as the main venue after its successful transformation for curling during the Winter Games.
This development comes at an exciting time for Chinese swimming, following recent successes at international competitions. Many are already speculating whether home advantage could help China’s swimmers achieve record-breaking performances in 2026.
