Sunday, 18 April 2021 The women s 64 kilograms contest at the Pan American Weightlifting Championships, which start in the Dominican Republic tomorrow, highlights the improved performance of the United States and Canada throughout Olympic qualifying. It also emphasises that the biggest losers at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are likely to be Colombia. When qualifying was team-based for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the US sent a team of four and Canada two, while Colombia had nine, the second largest contingent behind China. This time around the US is hoping for a maximum eight, while Canada is looking solid for four places according to Craig Walker, President of the Canadian Weightlifting Federation - and maybe more.
Wednesday, 7 April 2021 North Korea’s decision not to compete at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will have a bigger effect in weightlifting than in any other sport, judged by past performance and the current qualifying rankings. Weightlifting is by some distance North Korea’s strongest sport at the Olympic Games. In the past three Games in Beijing, London and Rio de Janeiro, North Korean weightlifters have won five gold medals, four silvers and a bronze - one of the best records in the world. In the current Olympic rankings North Korea features prominently in six of women’s categories and three men’s.
