The EWF was informed of the change in the Belgian Weightlifting Federation. Following a demand from the IWF to have an autonomous national governing body, Belgium’s federation was restructured.
The board members who previously oversaw weightlifting continue in their positions, albeit with minor adjustments to their responsibilities. There are now two co-presidents, rather than one president, to represent the French and Flemish-speaking populations in Belgium, as well as a new General Secretary.
The federation has also been rebranded as “Belgian Weightlifting” reflecting its renewed focus and commitment to the sport of weightlifting.
