Yeah, there'll be a gap no matter what they do. One option would be -60kg, -71kg, -79kg, -94kg, -110kg, +110kg for the men and -53kg, -63kg, -69kg, -77kg, -86kg, +86kg for the women

Not like 63 and 69 has too many entries in women that 48 be scrapped It should be 48, 58, 69, 77, 86,+86. 

 

In Men's there is no 94kg, so it will be 60, 71, 88, 98, 110, +110

98 was scrapped for 94 kg a few months back, see page 1.

According to Khaled Korany " former Egyptian weightlifting team coach and current Uzbekakistan weightlifting team coach"

 

Very soon, new changes in the weight categories for all age groups in weightlifting and a change in the Olympic weights

It’s not great for the athletes but I presume that change to align with IOC decision to have 6 weight categories in LA28.

 

by the way, is Khaled life ban removed?

Yes . This was a long time ago and then he coached Saudi Arabia team and currently he is Uzbek team coach

I think IWF should go with something like that

Men : 60, 65, 70, 76, 82, 89, 96, 110, +110

Women : 49, 53, 58, 62, 67, 72, 76, 86, +86

Body weight for LA 28 announced:

 

MEN: 65kg, 75kg, 85kg, 95kg, 110kg, +110kg
WOMEN: 53kg, 61kg, 69kg, 77kg, 86kg, +86kg
