I'm assuming it's something to do with the rapidly-diminishing quota of athlete spots for weightlifting at Paris 2024 (the inclusion of weightlifting in the program is still under review) due to a combination of corrupt/inadequate anti doping practices within the sport by the International Weightlifting Federation and that the IOC doesn't perceive much public interest in strength sports in general.I don’t have a horse in the race here.... but I’m actually genuinely curious as to why you say this Kenny. If you have the time could you please elaborate a bit.
Thanks
They may well remove weightlifting entirely but I certainly don't see them rushing out to replace it with powerlifting. I'm not sure how any of this may affect para powerlifting.
