Athletes from around the world came to France for the 16th annual International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics’ championships. From May 24th through 27th, athletes competed in Diving, Swimming, Synchronized Swimming and Water Polo at both Georges Vallerey and Georges Hermant Pools, in Paris. IGLA Championships are recognized as the World Championships for LGBT aquatics. During the course of the competition, two dynasties were overturned as IGLA crowed new team champions in both swimming and water polo.
Paris Aquatique and Aquahomo hosted this year’s event, and the IGLA Championships were held in conjunction with a larger sport festival, the Tournoi International de Paris 2007, which hosted a total of fifteen other sports, such as Rugby, Basketball, and Soccer. Paris Aquatique had previously hosted the IGLA Championships in 2000, as well as hosting the aquatics portion of TIP for the past three years.
