I disagree. It would have been as simple to say “2005 are not eligible” and since the Tokyo Olympics were still branded as 2020, there is no legal basis for someone to sue the FIG.This would’ve been yet another thing to do, inevitably involving more work than the default of simply leaving it.
Again, easy peasy…2005 are not eligible for an Olympic spot…same as any ineligible athlete such as Melnikova, Sanne Seitz, MDJDS, Bui, Wevers, et alThe second is that they’d have been facing a decision either to allow 2005 born athletes to win spots for their countries that they couldn’t use themselves, or to potentially affect continentals and actually any other competition they might attend before the Olympics although obviously continentals would’ve been the most significant.
There absolutely was. Just make them ineligible. Others were ineligible, the 2005 could also have been.There was no keep them out of Tokyo but everything else stays the same option available.
