Tashkent will unite the young weightlifting stars of the continent at the Asian Championship. Competitions will be held from July 15 to July 25 in the Yunusabad sports complex.
From July 15 to 25, Tashkent will host the Asian Weightlifting Championship among juniors and youth. All amateurs and those wishing to support the athletes of Uzbekistan can visit the competitions that will be held in the Yunusabad sports complex.
About 300 young stars from 21 countries will perform at these competitions. Our national team will perform in full force (36 athletes), led by Jurabek Zoirov and Nurullo Togaev. In particular, Uzbekistan will be represented by well-known weightlifters - world champion among adults Tursunoy Zhabborova, winners of the youth championship of the planet Nigora Suvonova, Sharofiddin Amriddinov, Mirkhosil Mirzaboev.
In the meantime, there is a lot of preparation for the upcoming tournament. And Uzbek athletes are going through the final stage of training at the weightlifting base in Chirchik.
The teams of Japan and China, which, by the way, are considered leaders in this sport due to the epidemiological situation in their countries, will not participate in the competition.
It is expected that representatives from Korea, Kazakhstan, Iran, and India, who have recently significantly improved their performance in this sport, as well as teams from the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand with strong leaders in some weight categories, are expected to compete in the upcoming competitions.
Meanwhile, Asia is considered the strongest region in world weightlifting. Therefore, continental championships in any age category are of great interest to the International Organization. The guests of honour of the competition will be the leader of the IWF, headed by Mohammad Jaloud, the recently appointed head of the International Weightlifting Federation.
For your information, the competition will be held every day at 11:00, and the evening program at 19:00.
