Celebrating Weightlifting Day
Created
05 December 2023
Marking a new chapter in the history of weightlifting, the International Weightlifting Federation's executive board (IWF eB) has designated October 16 as the official annual Weightlifting Day. This date is significant as it reflects the day when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided in 2023 to bring weightlifting back into the fold for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
This annual observance will serve as a reminder of the sport's resilience, the unwavering commitment of its athletes, and the strong community that supports weightlifting at every level. It's a day to unite fans, athletes, and officials in a shared passion for a sport that exemplifies strength, discipline, and international unity.
