The FIG fully supports this decision, especially since The World Games is the most significant multi-sport event for the athletes of the Gymnastics disciplines which are not part of the Olympic programme.
This one-year postponement will give the FIG the time necessary to find new solutions for the holding of the qualifying events for The World Games in those disciplines, since the 2020 World Championships have also had to be postponed.
