IWF at the Paris 2024 Weightlifting Operational Test Event

Paris 2024 Weightlifting Operational Test Event was held at the South Paris Arena 6 on Saturday 12 August 2023. Comprising of men’s +102kg and women’s 71kg, twenty-five (25) French lifters in total competed across the two bodyweight categories.

The event was hailed as a success as the Organising Committee was able to successfully validate planning objectives such as testing the venue transition, field of play, warm up area, sport equipment, national technical officials, sport specific volunteers, and timing, scoring and results.

Matthew Curtain, IWF Executive Board Member and IF Delegate, as well as Moira Lassen, IF Delegate said they were very pleased to see things run smoothly.  The competition also gave all weightlifters and officials the chance to experience being associated within the dynamics of an Olympic environment and so it was certainly a great event for everyone involved.

IWF President Mohammed Jalood, IWF Executive Board Member and Technical Committee Chair Sam Coffa, IWF Executive Board Member and Medical Committee Chair Faithi Masmoudi, IWF Executive Board Member Boukar Tikire and FFHM President Michel Raynaud were also in attendance.
