Competing at high altitude has caused problems for many athletes and
led to a huge number of no-lifts at the International Weightlifting
Federation (IWF) World Championships in Bogotá, the fifth highest
capital city in the world at more than 2,600 metres.
The new Board at the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) is
gearing up to bring "positive change" to the sport, according to the
governing body’s new President Mohammed Jalood.
Ursula Papandrea has used a moment from the International
Weightlifting Federation Youth World Championships in Mexico to
highlight her "athletes first" message in the build-up to the
sport’s most-important elections since the IWF was founded more than
100 years ago.
Eleven candidates have been cleared to stand for the Presidency of the
International Weightlifting Federation, which will hold arguably the
most important elections in its history next month.
