Moscow has been allowed to host the 2030 World Weightlifting Championships. This decision was made by the Executive Committee of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). This is the first time since the outbreak of full-scale war that Russia will host a world championship in Olympic sports. A country waging a war of aggression against Ukraine must not be given the opportunity to use international sports to restore its reputation.
