I took a quick look and didn't see any Egyptian weightlifter in those events. only these events are held and will be held in that period of time, per IWF calendar June IWF Junior World Championships British International Open Pan-American Junior Championships July Oceania Senior & Junior Championships August Cup of the Blue Swords (Germany) September African Junior Championships IWF World Championships October San Diego International Open 12th Mediterranean Cup Nordic Senior Championships European Junior Championships European U23 Championships Asian Junior Championships Asian Youth Championships 49th "Challenge 210" (Switzerland) I don't have the result of that August event in Germany but I think your athletes didn't participate in other events so far. (no idea about the African Junior but that's not good enough for Mohamed Ihab for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and since USA won't let the Iranians to participate, Switzerland is the only chance for Moradi, even with one hand, he has to participate) thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolby 712 Posted September 17, 2019 #17 Share Posted September 17, 2019 At present, only one Egyptian male lifter has participated in a period 2 event: Ali Ahmed Sayed Ashour in IWF Junior World Championships. In the female side, also only has participated in a period 2 event: Mahmoud Rania Mohamed Ezzat in IWF Junior World Championships. thepharoah and RiSeGwangFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,047 Posted September 17, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 17, 2019 @thepharoah it seems the IWF calendar isn't completely accurate ! for example they didn't list the Friendship tournament in Tokyo (Olympic test event) as an Olympic qualification event but then I see they count those results here https://www.iwf.net/qualif/menu/ there might be other eligible events as well. but when I checked the situation for Mohamed Ihab, he had 3 events in the first period. but still nothing in the 2nd period (may-October 2019). he has to participate in one of those 2 events in USA or SUI, even a poor result will be enough for him. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA allows it only for the World Championship (because they have to) and after torturing our athletes for something like 4-5 months. (they have to go several times to the USA embassy in Turkey) that's how it is. better not wasting time and money. they already announced Moradi is going to Switzerland. PS: I had to contact several people in Iran WL federation to make sure they know the rules. fortunately they knew. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
