IWF made a little adjustment to the new weight categories

https://iwf.sport/2025/05/08/update-on-iwf-bodyweight-categories/

 

we were supposed to have 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 98kg, 110kg, +110kg but now 98kg is being replaced by 94kg

This change is intended to prevent significant gaps between the (soon to be selected) five (5) Olympic Men’s Bodyweight Categories.

to me, this indicates there is a very good chance they pick 65, 79, 94, 110 and +110 for the Olympics.

Still big gaps in the weights with only 5 events.

I'm sure Karlos would have definitely preferred it to stay at 98 kg. While 94 isn't bad, he expected to gain weight in the coming years. 

 

But yeah, the five you mentioned seem the most logical to be selected.

It's a bit tough when you have such a large range of weights. Perhaps you can reduce the top end back down to 102kg, but you'd still have 65, 77, 89, 102, +102 as your events and that's with ignoring that Asia will not like the fact that the lowest weight is so high.

BIG news !

IOC EB approved the addition of two more bodyweight categories so we will have 6 for men and 6 for women .

Athletes quota will remain the same

so, we are going to have just 10 starters per weight class on average

    • Ben Hebert: "... We have a hockey mentality on our curling team, we’re not going to be bullied and pushed over by a bunch of Swedish guys out there that are getting their a**es handed to them." “We didn’t have any of that, we finished at the top of the podium with the gold and they finished dead last, so I think that says a lot.” Hebert is long known in curling media circles for not being afraid to speak his mind, and he didn’t let up in his ire when it came to the genesis of the entire situation -- Eriksson. “That snake in the grass,” Hebert said. “The stuff he tried to pull at the Olympics is not very Olympia of him… I lost a lot of respect for him with the stuff he tried to pull. He’s won the Olympics, they’ve won Grand Slams, they’ve won World Championships, and when they were at the high of their peak, you never saw that stuff from him. These last two or three years, they’ve been on a brutal stretch and pretty irrelevant in the curling world, haven’t won anything, they’re out of the Grand Slams, dead last in the Olympics puts a stamp on that.."
