The sailing event, La semaine olympique de Hyères, which should give european quota for Laser and Laser Radial is canceled (source in french : https://www.lequipe.fr/Voile/Actualites/La-semaine-olympique-de-hyeres-est-annulee-a-cause-de-la-pandemie-de-coronavirus/1228666). 

So, the laser and laser radial qualifications for European sailors are cancelled ultimately or will be moved somewhere?

:PORPortugal applied to host them... so apparently not yet cancelled. The article says that also the :ESPCanary Islands are interested in hosting this. 

 

Cancelling Important Sailing Events (that are not close contact sports as Judo for example) by the organizing country of the Olympics 2024............... :facepalm:

There is no news yet about if it will affect a qualifications in rowing, diving and artistic swimming.

The rowing regatta is confirmed, and my guess is so will be the events in diving and artistic swimming, since these will all be direct qualification events and athletes will be given exeptions to enter Japan.

As I understand, the gymnastics World Cup was cancelled because it wasn't a qualification event anymore so there is no need to host it

To complete, the world cup event became a test event only. As a precaution the event will take place with only japanese gyms to test the venue. Without the qualification to obtain there is no need for athletes all around the globes to travel to Japan by this trouble time.
