The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) has reinstated the rights of Russian and Belarusian weightlifters to compete under their national flags and anthems at international competitions. This decision, made on June 26th, allows athletes from these countries to participate in IWF-sanctioned events as part of their national teams. The move reverses previous restrictions that had been imposed, enabling full representation with national symbols during competition. The federation's executive committee approved this change based on recent recommendations.
