IFSC Olympic qualified including 4 from Japan

Here is the list of the 8 males and females that according to IFSC has qualified to Tokyo. They have sent out a request for confirmation but Japan disagrees. Update - IFSC has published a list saying 8 + 8 climbers are confirmed, meaning Japan must have accepted that Kai Harada and Miho Nonaka are in. The argument relates to how the selection process in regards the host country allocation should be interpreted. IFSC thinks Japan should not be allowed a special host place as they got two qualified in Hachioji WCH. The document gives no exact answer but it is a well-known fact that the Japan Federation has planned to select their host place at a later stage. It should be mentioned that in the qualifying document, including the strict time schedule how to confirm, etc an allocated quota place, IFSC has forgotten to mention details for the host quota place. 8a has several times explained the qualification process based on how Japan also has understood it. What is a bit strange is that IFSC has not earlier said this intertretation is wrong. IFSC should know that the Japan Federation, 8a and other media as well as coaches, have interpreted the host qualification procedure differently.

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.
