Ukraine decided to boycott the World Weightlifting Championship in 2030, which was decided to be held in Moscow. The Ukrainian media writes about this in reference to the Minister of Youth and Sports Matvey Bedani. "This is an extraordinary decision, and of course, our athletes will not go to Moscow," said the Ukrainian official. He said Kiev would file complaints with the IOC and the International Weightlifting Federation. The championship in Moscow will be the first qualifying tournament for the 2032 Summer Olympics in Brisbane.
