Great victory for Russia. It will host the World Championship, Putin's spokesman is also delighted.

Russia will host the World Weightlifting Championships in 2030, marking a significant return to international sports after years of isolation due to the Ukraine war. The International Weightlifting Federation's decision is seen as a step towards depoliticizing sports. Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for President Putin, welcomed the decision, emphasizing Russia's need to reintegrate into the global sports community. The announcement follows the lifting of the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee by the International Olympic Committee, allowing Russian athletes to qualify for the 2028 Olympics. The Russian Weightlifting Federation expressed gratitude for the trust placed in them by the IWF.
