The EWF had received more number of requests to extend preliminary entries athletes number for European senior championships.
Because the number of athletes for the preliminary entry is regulated by the IWF TCRR, article 3.4.2.2, EWF sent request to IWF TC if an exception could be made for this event.
Following a discussion within the IWF TC, EWF received approval that for this event, national federations may apply 10+10 reserve male athletes and 10+10 reserve female athletes for preliminary entries.
EWF expresses gratitude to the IWF TC Chairman and committee members for this exception and invites European national federations to propose updating the IWF TCRR in that sense.
Preliminary entries for European senior championships are from 24 to 28 March 2022.
