FS Worlds Entries - Russia not listed at any weight

[Takuto_Otoguro]

Having a look at the Freestyle entries for worlds yesterday I noticed that the only athletes under the "AIN" label are from Belarus. No Russians are listed in the entries for worlds.

 

They were at cadets and juniors. And considering that Belarus is here I assume this is some kind of mistake?

Who qualified? I thought someone here mentioned that Russia had its own championship tournament this year.

I thought that was strange as well...

Hmmmm the Greco list includes Russian athletes in addition to Belarussian athletes under AIN.

My guess is that Russia didn't give UWW their finalized list soon enough for this initial entries list given the recent wrestle-offs w/ Sidakov and Sadulaev.

Flo's only comment I could find was:

This list does not appear to include Russian athletes, who are expected to compete as neutral athletes (AIN). However, it does include Belarusian athletes such as Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov

Definitely weird, but I feel like there'd be more of a discussion somewhere about it if Russian MFS weren't going.
