This event, scheduled from March 31 to April 11, is poised to be the final qualifying milestone for athletes aiming to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
To facilitate the participation of delegations from around the world, the organizers have launched a dedicated webpage for the IWF World Cup.
This website is designed to provide essential information to the teams and athletes preparing for competition, ensuring they have access to all necessary logistics and schedules.
The 2024 IWF World Cup in Phuket is set to witness an unprecedented assembly of talent, with approximately 850 competitors from 115 countries expected to compete. This event not only highlights the global appeal of weightlifting but also underscores the depth of talent across nations, all converging with the shared goal of securing a spot in the Paris Olympics.
In line with the core values of the sport and the expectations set forth by the International and Asian Weightlifting Federations, a special emphasis is placed on the principle of fair play.
IWF President Mr. Mohammed Jalood, has recently on AWF Congress in Taskhent reiterated the importance of integrity, sportsmanship, and fairness, underscoring these values as the foundation upon which competition should be conducted.
The Asian Weightlifting Federation, in particular, extends its encouragement to all participants, urging them to embody these principles throughout the competition. Special accolades and support are directed towards Asian athletes, with the AWF expressing its hope that they excel not only in performance but also in exemplifying the ideals of fair competition as they aim to secure their positions for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
As the weightlifting community turns its eyes towards Phuket, the 2024 IWF World Cup is set to be more than just a display of physical strength and technique; it will be a celebration of the enduring values that sport teaches us – respect, equality, and the pursuit of excellence under the guiding principles of fair play.
