No, but I don’t have like 5-6 old phones, 2 old laptops, and a old game console to donate because I refuse to throw things away.

Save it for 2028

Schedule

Test events serves as a preliminary overview of how structures should work in many ways. For example, questions of logistics, security, work teams etc.

 

In addition to identifying possible problems, that can be solved before the Olympics, instead of only realizing them when the Olympics begin.

It depends on how many quotas they want. If they want 60 (like the men's) then I'd argue it's too soon and they should wait until 2024. Based on the the qualification time at the 2017 World Championships the quality of field would suggest around 30 entrants and then expand it to 60 for 2024.

When they manage to get organized as well.
