Iran wrestling presidnet had a phone call with Nenad Lalovic (UWW president) today and was told that it's highly possible to have the Asian Qualifiers and the Asian Championships at the same time in Kazakhstan somewhere around April.

China gave up all international sport event due to the pandemic concerns and strict quarantine requirements. I am very worried for Chinese athletes too. Not only China gave up hosting but also restrict athletes participating foreign events. Chinese athletes missed a lots of winter sports stages already.

per UWW calendar, Hammamet in Tunisia will host the African/Oceania qualifiers in 2-4 April instead of Morocco!

The reduced number of quotas sure did their job, it's already apparent that many European countries will have smaller teams than in Rio, maybe even Russia. We are currently 3 quotas short (5, we had 8 in Rio), I will be happy if we get at least one more in Sofia, anything more would be a bonus.

Not to forget he wasted quotas in having team event in each fencing discipline ridiculous when compound archery is still not given  at least 20 quotas for individual event.
