Those might be salvageable if the event is moved to the first quarter (maybe even early second quarter) of 2024.

Depends how quickly they can get over this dispute + build the remaining venues. Late May - early June should be the target if they want to keep all their qualification events.

Archery will maybe be included as an Qualification event for Paris 2024. Though that still has to be confirmed officially.

What was the reason of the re-schedule? Venues not finished? Or due to Covid-postponements of other events re-scheduled?
