Upon his election he thanked the weightlifting family and out-going Interim President Dr. Michael Irani for all the good work done together.

But especially my good friend Mohamed Yousef Al-Mana who withdrew his candidacy to unite the IWF family. Looking ahead, we have a lot of good work to do and we are all committed to the same goal. Today, we have taken the first step in building a stronger organization, one that is more resilient and more ambitious. Today, is a bright day for our sport and I look forward to doing many more good things for our organization together with the entire weightlifting family!”
