Kruder, Rubtsov, Lettner and Kaplina to Toulouse

We have been informed that Alexey Rubtsov will be allowed to compete in the Olympic qualifying event in Toulouse. This means that most probably, IOC has agreed on 22 male and female participants, meaning also Jernej Kruder, Sandra Lettner and Iuliia Kaplina are in. The reason for this late change is that first IFSC invited Rubtsov etc but later changed the rule meaning they were out. In the end, IOC must have agreed that this is most fair. Here is the full starting list. Rubtsov reports that he has only been doing bouldering and one hour Speed training lately so he has just one week to catch up before it starts next Thursday. Kruder has as always been climbing outside so now it is time to get back on that Speed wall again.
