Qualifying Totals with new Bodyweight Classes

Because the qualification period utilizes the old weight classes, athletes may register for the bodyweight category of their choice - either up or down one class as long as the total is satisfied.

For example, if a female competes as an 81kg (old class) and weighed 80.25kg, she may enter as a 77kg OR 86kg. Weight change requests:

Athletes must submit a weight change request (one category up or down) to the National Chairman. Note that the minimum start total will change according to Article 3.4 of the IMWA rule book.

Qualification Totals for Medals - to be eligible for medals, athletes must achieve the Qualification Total for the category they compete in at the event.
