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

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

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

Before the extra weight rumors were that 65 , 79 , 94 , 110 , +110 will be men weight categories No I think IWF should change weight categories again 😅

The IWF will now have until the end of 2025 to define the six categories for both men and women to be contested at the 2028 Olympic Games.

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 Source

It is mentioned clearly in 2025 version of UIPM rules as there will be a separate ranking for fencing only * Athletes/relay teams are seeded for the Direct Elimination within their respective Semi-final or Final group according to their result in the Fencing Seeding Round. In the Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games and World Cup Finals, athletes will be seeded for the Fencing Direct Elimination based on their FWR * The final ranking for pentathletes or relay teams eliminated in the same round will be determined based on their rank from the Fencing Seeding Round. In the Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games and World Cup Finals, where no Fencing Seeding Round is held, their final ranking will be determined by their Fencing World Ranking.
