uk12points 434 Posted March 15, 2022 #21 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Canada, Great Britain and New Zealand have all withdrawn from the upcoming Universiade. Australia and USA won’t be sending athletes in swimming, unclear about other sports. Main issues from GB appear to be Russia/Belarus (now resolved as they are banned), Covid-19 and travel restrictions (in particular the extensive regulations being required by China/organising committee, as athletes for these games are self funded and receive limited organisational support) Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/2348-summer-world-university-games-2021/page/3/#findComment-458872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
