Place and date TBD

If it is within 4 weeks of final x I think this is fine I would like the best guy on the team. However, If this gets pushed into late July early August I have to wonder if he is that compromised if it worth sending him without adequate training time.

Someone in Twitter said they can delay it until 2 weeks prior to worlds

If Arujau beats Jax, then how much training time he had is irrelevant, right?

Is Vito injured?  whats the reason for the delay

No.  It's two weeks prior to the Worlds acclimation camp.  We've seen our teams head over a few days in advance or a couple weeks in advance (and everything in between). 

 

A lot depends on location, which is Croatia this year.  I can't imagine more than a week, as our USAW has planned around Croatia many times the last cycle or two - unless they head to Poland or Germany, etc. for a team camp prior to Croatia?

Not sure, really.  I would assume that we'll know mid-August at the latest.

I would say yes within reason. If he is injured to an extent where wrestling a series, then sets him back another few weeks I am not sure. At that point though Jax is probably not bringing home a medal if he still cannot beat Vito. I think it just hurts the world teams training cycle a bit although I don't know how much a world team camp really matters in the grand scheme of things with how good RTC's are now.

I second above- it really depends. I remember in 2018 USAW called me about being team translator for Greco for their camp which was held in a small city named Tata, about 50km outside of Budapest, to which I responded, "Wait, we have a Greco team?" I didn't get a second call back! haha! 

I bring this up because I vaguely remember their camp starting 3 weeks before the actual tournament (Budapest, Hungary), but it varies year to year based on a bunch of factors.

I'm feeling very old.  The last camp I was in was at the OTC in 1998.  Camp was the first week in August.  Championships were 8/27-8/30 in Sweden.  I know things are a lot different now, and I'd imagine they are acclimating in Europe three weeks prior.  At least, I'd hope.
