The deadline for the final entries to the Test Event “Ready Steady Tokyo” is approaching. In the light of the existing situation with COVID-19, it is for you to determine the potential risks for your athletes’ health in travelling and coming in contact with citizens of different countries. As a result of the existence of already introduced restrictions, operational measures undertaken by governments and dynamics of the virus, the ISSF recommends you deliberate in making travel arrangements.
Of course, each Member Federation that has athletes invited to the Test Event is free to make any decisions on their trip to Japan and participation in the competitions.
The ISSF is monitoring the situation and desires to avoid any risk for those athletes who obtained the Quota Places and earned the right to take part in Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
We will continue updating you on regular basis of situations related to the Test Event.
