What are the actual events for IFSA World Championships?
For the qualifiers, there will be three heats, and the three team leaders will draw for their heats, just as they draw for the athletes in their groups. Once again, the idea is to keep things as fair as possible, IFSA's Marcel Mostert told IronMind®.
