More than 2,000 swimmers from 46 different countries are set to dip into Turkey’s iconic Bosphorus strait, competing in a unique race between Asia and Europe.

The Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swimming Race, being held in Istanbul on Sunday, is an annual open water event and is the only official swimming competition in the world to cross between two continents.

This year, the 32nd edition of the race will be held without any spectators because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has infected more than 255,000 people in Turkey and killed at least 6,080. (Aljazeera)
