An interesting legal dilemma in weightlifting.

that's not a legal dilemma, it's just another fuckin' corrupted sentence by that bunch of criminals named CAS, the most dangerous institution for the world of sport :bones: :stop:

 

just cancel CAS...and the world will be better :pope:

big decision by IWF

 

new weight categories, 8 for men and 8 for women from June 2025

 

Men 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 98kg, 110kg, +110kg

Women 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 77kg, 86kg, +86kg

 

and this means all World records will be erased AGAIN ! :facepalm:

I think that was a good decision, 10 weights was too much. but erasing the current World Records was the down side of this decision.

 

but does this mean they have some agreements with IOC to have all these weights at the Olympics ? that looks unlikely though :dunno: but looking at the numbers and the gap between weights none of them look like a "non-Olympic weight" at least that's what IWF thinks.
