SOFIA: The international wrestling governing body, United World Wresting , plans to keep the world championship in its 2021 calendar as it would be the first time the event to be staged in an Olympic year, UWW's vice-president said on Monday.
"Such move will be entirely in favour of the athletes as you can see how many events had been cancelled. There are six weight categories at the Olympics and 10 categories at the world championship, so you can see the difference. The world championship in Oslo is scheduled to take place in early October next year, only two months after the Tokyo Games but Tzenov said the competition in Norway could be postponed by several weeks."The hosts - the Norwegian federation, said it was ready to postpone the championship by several weeks but to organise it in 2021," he said."The final decision will be taken later this year.
The European qualifier in Budapest will be staged in March 2021 while the world"last chance" qualifier in Sofia will take place in early May next year.
