Lucerne 2021 reported preliminary entries from 57 NUSFs at the FISU General Assembly. That would be 1 NUSF less than in 2019.

Where can one find the exact eligibility rules in order to compete (in cross-country skiing, specifically)? I can find this document, which mentions some rules around having to be eligible, but it doesn't say exactly who is eligible.

It is specifically about Gabi Neres and whether or not she'd be eligible to compete.

She has apparently gotten confirmation that she'll be allowed to participate  

 

We're so happy for her, it's so great to see her coming to Europe again! Too bad we probably won't be able to meet up anywhere, but still, that's awesome!

Oh fuck  

 

Gabi (Neres) was so so so so so excited about finally coming to Europe next week to compete again, she had gotten good boots from a World Cup biathlete, excellent skis were on the way as well, she was happy as a kid only two days ago to go and compete there  

 

I know it sucks for everyone involved, but she is the only one I actually know personally and am close friends with....I'm kind of devastated and heartbroken

that's a terrible news, not because I really care about the Winter Universiade

 

but because that means we will probably hear more of news like this in future

Ouch.
