体坛英语资讯：IWF Exective Board approves new categories

发布时间：2018-07-23 编辑：查字典英语网小编

BEIJING, July 8 -- The IWF executive board has approved new bodyweight categories for both World Weightlifting Championships and Olympic Games.

It's the third time for IWF to adjust bodyweight categories but it will be the first time that the new bodyweight categories will be applied for both World Championships and Olympic Games.

Ten new bodyweight categories for women and ten new categories for men will replace the previous eight bodyweight categories for men and seven bodyweight categories for women to comply with the "equality for men and women" required by the IOC.

The new ten bodyweight categories for men are 55kg, 61kg, 67kg, 73kg, 81kg, 89kg, 96kg, 102kg, 109kg, and +109kg. For women, the new ten bodyweight categories are 45kg, 49kg, 55kg, 59kg, 64kg, 71kg, 76kg, 81kg, 87kg and +87kg.

However, the weightlifting competitions at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will include only seven categories for both men and women. That means a total of 14 weightlifting gold medals will be on stake at the Tokyo Olympic Games, one less than that at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.
