Few of the best to Moscow

Out of the Top-15 Lead WC ranking 2019, only Sascha Lehmann #10, will participate in the Euro Championship starting in Moscow on Friday. Austria, France, Spain and Italy will not send any athletes. Germany will only send female athletes and only three will participate from Slovenia and two from Great Britain. The only countries sending big teams are Russia and the Czech Republic but no Adam Ondra. There are two Olympic tickets at stake in Moscow but there are not many who want to gamble with the health it seems.

Based on the Top-30 in the only WC in 2020, with only Europeans participating, just three male from the Czech Republic are scheduled to compete in Moscow. It should be noted that Russia set a new record of Covid-19 cases the last week.
