2018-world-weightlifting-championships-logoThis is the ATG 2018 World Championships resource page.

For the first time athletes will compete in the newly established weight classes.

Previously banned nations like China, Russia, Armenia, Kazahkstan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and co. are allowed to compete again. So this is the first “complete” world championships since 2015.

When: November 1st – 10th

Where: Ashgabat, Turkmenistan

News

Update: Official Entry List (PDF) (final start list will be released Oct 30th, 18:00).

693 athletes from 91 countries. The list is still incomplete / has some little errors. For example Max Lang is not on the list, but he is definitely on the team (other Germans that aren’t supposed to be on, are still on the list). So expect minor updates in the future.
