World Indoors 2021 in waiting position

Let me get this straight. We do not even know when the Chinese government will open up China to outside events?

How can one, even in the parallel universe inhabited by global sports federations, believe that the WIC in Nanjing will be hosted in Spring 2021. I love China, but with vaccines just beginning to be sent to key markets, the questions are many.

Good luck, Nanjing, I truly wanted to go, but not sure it can happen in 2021.

World Indoors 2021 in waiting position

MONACO (MON): The current situation about the fate of World Indoors in China, planned for Nanjing in March, is based on the decision of Chinese Government when they will allow international events to be held in the country. That decision is expected in coming weeks. WA Council in this sense will hear progress reports from the organisers but is not able to say final verdict about the staging of the event.
