The European Weightlifting Federation acted following the IOC Press Release and IWF official communication and withdrew the right to host the 2022 European Youth and U15 Championships from the Russian Weightlifting Federation, event initially planned from the 3rd to the 10th of August this year, in Kazan.
The EWF President promptly informed the RWF about the continental body’s decision.
The IOC’s press release can be found here:
The EWF is deeply concerned about the safety of the weightlifting community’s members located in the conflict areas and expresses its full solidarity.
We live in a very painful time in the contemporary European history. The EWF hopes that peace will soon be restored among all continental communities.
