The 2005 World Aquatics Championships or the XI FINA Championships were held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from July 16 to July 31, 2005. They took place in Parc Jean-Drapeau on Saint Helen's Island, and were sanctioned by FINA.

Notable events

• Alexandre Despatie (Canada) broke the 800-point barrier scoring 813.60 points in the men's 3-metre platform event, winning gold, and the World Record. He becomes the first diver to win gold in all three disciplines of diving (1 m, 3 m, 10 m), two of them in 2005, one in 2003. He held all men's three titles simultaneously for a short time, as he did not compete in the 10 m event in Montreal, due to injury suffered in training.

• Chelsea Davis (USA), 17, smacks her face against the end of the springboard, in a dive gone awry, landing hard in the water. She leaves the blood-filled water conscious but with blood pouring from her nose, after failing in an inward 2-1/2 somersault on the women's 3 m springboard, during the morning preliminary round. She was found to have no major injuries, just requiring 3 stitches.[1]

Host country performance

see: Canada at the 2005 World Aquatics Championships

Canada did respectably as host, winning gold medals, having a good medal count, and setting numerable Canadian Records and Personal Bests. Canada exceeded its previous high-water mark in total medals, collecting 10.

Bidding for and organizing the event

see 2005 World Aquatics Championships bids

Montréal became the first city in North America to hold the FINA World Aquatics Championships.

The venue for the games was itself controversial. The games were awarded initially to Montreal, and then taken away again in February 2005 when the city was unable to raise sufficient funding, with other cities indicating their willingness to take the games on. However following promises of funding from various levels of government, Montreal re-bid for the games and they were re-awarded to the city.

On July 16, before the start of the 2005 event, FINA selected the host city for the 2009 World Aquatics Championships — Rome, Italy.
