IWF President Tamás Aján added, “IWF are delighted to be promoting the live stream for The British Championships. IWF are committed to supporting and helping the growth of the sport at all levels and promoting the free live stream for everyone in and outside of weightlifting is a small step in this journey. We are also hugely excited to witness the talent from the British athletes at the Championships in the lead up to the Commonwealth Games.”

BWL Chief Executive Ashley Metcalfe added, “We are honoured and very grateful for the support from IWF during The British Championships this weekend and we are excited to further strengthen our affiliation. The positive impact the stream will have is invaluable, not only will it allow anyone in the world to enjoy the competition but also give those less aware of the sport a brief insight into weightlifting.”
