The federation\u2019s score rose by 21 points between the 2023-24 and 2025-26 reviews \u2013 significantly higher than the average increase of around 10 across all International Federations, and one of only four IFs to improve by more than 20.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-43718\" src=\"https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review3-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The result reflects the steady reform the IWF has pursued in recent years to enhance transparency, integrity and accountability. With that progress confirmed, the Board has now focused on what comes next, agreeing a programme of work to further advance its governance structures and build on firmer foundations than at any point in its recent history.<\/p>\n<p>IWF President Mohammed Jalood said the Board\u2019s discussion underlined a clear direction of travel for the sport.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWeightlifting has come a long way, and this result is a sign that the changes we have made are taking hold. We have worked hard to be more transparent, more accountable and more open in how we govern our sport, and that effort is being recognised. But the Board is clear that we are not standing still. We have agreed where we go from here, and there is more to do. Strengthening our governance is not a task we complete once and set aside \u2013 it is how we intend to run the IWF every day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-43717\" src=\"https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/iwf.sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ASOIF_review2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><em>IWF President Mohammed Jalood<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The ASOIF review is the most established benchmark for governance in the Olympic Movement.
