IFSC "freeze" Kruder and Rubtsov from Toulouse?

As have been mentioned before. IFSC has sent out invitation letters to Jernej Kruder and Alexey Rubtsov, regarding the Toulouse Olympic qualification event. Later IFSC deleted the max two country quota for that event. The reason for this was that Tokyo 2020 Sport Entry did not accept such limitation bu IFSC. This means that some countries will be allowed to send more than two with the consequence that probably Jernej Kruder, Alexey Rubtsov and others are out. "08/11/2011: At the conclusion of the 2019 World Cup, the IFSC Office opened the registration process for the athletes eligible to compete in the Combined Qualifier in Toulouse. During a revision of this process, Tokyo 2020 Sport Entry did not accept the limitation per country, so the IFSC Office had to freeze some athletes. The dilemma is that Jernej Kruder and Alexey Rubtsov did choose to not participate in the last World Cup as they had, based on the original rule, calculated that they were granted a spot in Toulouse. What will happen in regards to the appeal Team Japan versus IFSC, which relates to how many they will send to Toulouse is also not clear? It just might be that the only solution of this mess is to let like 23 athletes compete in Toulouse instead of just 20.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders.
