Swimming-No entries received for new ‘open category’ in Wo rld Cup

There are no entries in the races for the new “open category” at the World Cup swimming event in Berlin this weekend, World Aquatics said on Tuesday.
The event was meant to mark the pilot open category established for swimmers after World Aquatics voted last year to restrict participation of transgender athletes in elite women’s competitions.
Following the creation of a task force to look into the matter, the organisation established the new category, as a pilot project, in July.
The open category was to feature 50 and 100-meter races across all strokes at the event in Berlin.
Several international federations, including World Athletics and FIFA, are reviewing their guidelines on the involvement of transgender athletes following World Aquatics’ ruling
