IWF announced new weight classes , non-Olympic weights in bold

 

Men: 55, 61, 67, 73, 81, 89, 96, 102, 109, +109

Women: 45, 49, 55, 59, 64, 71, 76, 81, 87, +87

 

so say goodbye to all current world records.

So random, I mean, 109+kg 

 

61, 81, 89, 96, 102, 109, 49, 59, 71, 81, 87.....the weight classes are triggering me like nothing has ever done before

I know but o don't like those new weights that's all  maybe because they harmed our best chances for medals at olympics , Sara Samir will have to increase her weight by 8 kilos to participate in olympics and Mohamed Ehab by 4 , i don't like tge idea itself of changing weights , what would change in the game !

 it was because of IOC not giving weightlifting extra quota. It was 8 +7 now it was 7each as given by IOC .So they changed all weights
