The Golden Final marks the conclusion of a Finswimming World Cup season impacted by COVID-19.

The first round in the pool in the Polish city of Poznań, scheduled for January, was cancelled as well as the fourth round in Leipzig in Germany in April.

The pool and open water World Cups scheduled to take place in Thailand in September were also cancelled.

However, a pool event was staged in Lignano Sabbiadoro in Italy from March 19 to 21, as well as competitions in Coral Springs in the United States and Eger in Hungary in October.

Hosts Egypt will be the most represented nation with 426 of the 1,030 entries at the Golden Final - totals which include athletes entered into multiple events.

Russia were the overall winners the last time the CMAS Finswimming World Cup Golden Final was staged in the Polish city of Poznań in 2019, scoring a total of 2909 points to Ukraine's 1710 and China's 1332.

They have made the second-most entries with 217, while Ukraine have made 197.

Competitions are scheduled in a total of 62 categories.

In the pool, there are category A events for men and women, and boys and girls competitions for competitors in categories B, C and D.
