“Amir Siddiqui” Speaking to IRNA on Sunday about the postponement of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, he said: “We started the men’s and women’s national team camp in December.” In Kurash, we had seven camp stages last year, and the teams’ training continued to this day. Athletes practiced hard to reach the desired conditions to prepare to shine in the Asian Games, which was unfortunately canceled.
He added: “After the news of the postponement of the matches that was announced last Friday, a new date has not been determined yet, which has added to the concerns.” We had four events in the wushu calendar (Hangzhou Asian Games, World Students, Asian Youth Games, and World Students), all of which were canceled.
Siddiqui said that the federation’s planning will change: “We will consult with the Asian Wushu Federation to hold the adult championship this year, because adult wushu players need to compete.”
When will the Hangzhou Asian Games be held? He said: “Next year, the Olympic qualifiers will start in some fields, and the football of the Asian Cup is ahead, and it will be very difficult for them to be able to hold the Asian Games.” However, it is unlikely that we will see the Asian Games in 1401.
“It is possible that the Hangzhou Asian Games will be canceled altogether,” Siddiqui said. “It happened at the Tokyo Olympics, but the games were delayed by a year.” We have to wait for the decision of the Asian Olympic Council.
Regarding the closure of the national wushu and Kurash team camps, he said: “In Kurash, the composition of the men’s section was determined and we had the selection of Wushu on May 16th.” We have closed the camp and are waiting for the new time of the Asian Games. Talukaran are the only ones in the world to attend World Games, but of course, having a visa in the United States and getting a visa has its own difficulties and complexities.
The president of the Wushu Federation continued: “However, we will have the Premier League in September.” National competitions for age groups are also held in July.
