Elite lifters to skip Asian meet trials for CWG, Asiad
The New Indian Express Kottayam
|March 05, 2025
GIVEN the proposed change in weight categories from June this year and the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games scheduled next year, none of the elite weightlifters from the country are expected to feature in selection trials to be held at the SAI's National Center of Excellence, Patiala on March 10.
The trials are being organised to select teams for the IWF World Youth & Junior Championships and Asian Championships. The former is slated from April 30 to May 5 in Lima, Peru while the continental tournament is scheduled in Jiangshan, China from May 9 to 15.
"Around 50 lifters are expected to compete in the one-day selection trials. Senior athletes are unlikely to compete as they are adjusting to the new weight categories and preparing for the Asian Games and CWG," Vijay Sharma, weightlifting head coach, told this daily.
The CWG will be held in Glasgow, Scotland from July 23 to August 2 next year. It will be followed by the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan from September 19 to October 4.
