The 2022 World Wrestling Championships have been moved from Russia to Serbia in response to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling that Russia cannot stage major events for a two-year period.
Krasnoyarsk had been due to host United World Wrestling s (UWW) flagship event in 2022, but will no longer do so.
Serbian capital Belgrade, which had been approved to host the event in 2023 and was due to be the 2020 host before the event was cancelled because of the coronavirus crisis, will now stage the World Championships in 2022.
However, Russia will host the 2023 World Wrestling Championships, UWW said. We are respectful of the CAS decision, WADA’s [World Anti-Doping Agency] position and have adapted the schedule accordingly, UWW president Nenad Lalovic said.
