While in Ismailia, our International Federation\u2019s representatives could visit the venue of the Championships (including competition, warm-up and training areas), as well as the hotels welcoming the participating teams. Technical aspects related to the organisation of the event were also reviewed, and comprised: anti-doping operations, media and TV production, sports presentation, opening and closing ceremonies, security, accreditation, and local transportation.<\/p>\n

After the two-day visit to Egypt, and according to the IWF delegation, the level of confidence is \u201chighly positive\u201d<\/em> and the IWF is \u201cexpecting a successful staging of the Championships\u201d.<\/em> The hosts of the competition, led by the President of the Egyptian Weightlifting Federation, Mr Mohamed Abdelmaksoud (also IWF EB Member), were praised for the work done so far, thus ensuring that participants coming to Ismailia can greatly enjoy the event.<\/p>\n
