Romanian wrestlers, Ahmad Dahsahn and (76kg) and Abdulkarim
Abu Dueij (86kg) are set to compete on the Kingdom’s behalf in the qualifiers.
According to the Asian Federation’s protocol, only two
players from each country will be allowed to participate this year; a policy
which was also implemented during the previous edition of the qualifiers.
Deputy Chairman of the Jordan Wrestling Federation’s
temporary committee, Abdulrahman Al-Awamleh, told Jordan News: “We will be
offering additional chances for all players (to take part in) this year’s Asian
qualifiers and providing them with what they need to succeed.”
The national team’s technical manager, Yahya Abu Tbeikh said
that “Despite the tournament’s difficulty and the interruptions throughout the
preparation process — due to COVID-19 restrictions — the two players are
(still) highly motivated to compete in the qualifiers after completing their
technical training.”
The Olympic qualifiers are expected to see a large turnout
of athletes from around Asia who will have one last chance to make their way
into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
A number of 16 athletes will compete in each weight group
but only the winners and runners up from each group will qualify for the
Olympics.
