Weightlifting Restores Its Reputation After Inclusion In LA28: IWF President Mohammed Jalood
The International Olympic Committee: Mohammed Jalood, president of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) said it would be unthinkable if weightlifting was excluded from the Olympic Games as the sport has never missed a single Olympics since 1896.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) reinstated weightlifting in the 2028 Los Angeles Games program at the 141st IOC Session in Mumbai, India, on October 17, reports Xinhua.
"Being in the Games from the very beginning, it was unthinkable for us to be excluded from the Olympic celebration. In that sense, it was perhaps one of the most upsetting perspectives in our history," Jalood, who is not in the IWF headquarters in Lausanne, responded through emails to Xinhua's questions.
