Archery Rules Update: A dedicated archery rulebook has been developed, closely resembling the regulations used during WTG2019 in Newcastle.
Expanded Eligibility: Allogenic and autologous bone marrow recipients are now eligible to participate in the Games.
New Donor Events: Additional donor-specific competitions have been introduced.
Family Member Participation: Family members of living donors are now allowed to join selected events.
