The WKF has just published the provisional competition calendar for the year 2021. It begins in February. The Paris Open is therefore not listed in official WKF events. Three Premier League (Lisbon in February, Baku in March and especially Rabat, qualifier for Tokyo in April) and three continental championships are scheduled before the Olympic qualifying tournament in Paris (June 11-13) and, of course, the Olympics (August 5-7). Two other Premier League are scheduled in Tashkent in September and Moscow in October ahead of the Worlds in Dubai (November 16-21).
