In Norway, the possibility of participating in the World Weightlifting Championship in Moscow for 2030 was not included. This is what the president of the local federation Stian Grimst said. "If I remain president until then, we will not send athletes to the championships in Russia," Grimst said in response to NRK. "I think the council [of the federation] will support me in this. If he doesn't support me, I can resign. It fundamentally goes against everything I believe in." Ukraine's boycott of the tournament was announced the day before by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Matvey Bidny.
