with the support of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) and the Peruvian Institute of
Sport (IPD).
While organizational success is already on the horizon, a great sporting performance by young
weightlifters is also anticipated, despite the inactivity in the first months of the year due to the
Covid-19 pandemic. The online or virtual format has allowed the restart of international
competitions.

Spokesmen for the Australian Weightlifting Federation commented on their website that the time
difference with Peru will force their five athletes to compete in hours where they usually sleep.
However, Australians took the situation on the bright side, commenting: "Such are the
challenges of uniting the world of weightlifting in competition during a global pandemic that has
practically stopped international travel."
