Ashgabat – The qualifications for weightlifting for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games starts in Ashgabat. The capital of Turkmenistan, in fact, will host the renewed Weights World Championships that will introduce new weight categories and the Olympic qualifications for individuals starting tomorrow until November 10th. “We come from a European Championship where the young people performed very well even if we left a few medals on the street,” explained the Italian coach Sebastuiano Corbu. In this World Cup we will test the new mechanism of qualifying and the new weight categories will serve to understand what to do in this semester which also includes the senior Euros; I believe, however, that an actual evaluation can be done only after this last competition. In Ashgabat we will think a little less about the medals and a little more about the result, which is used to accumulate points for the world ranking according to the Olympic qualification”.
