The JuggLife | The Future of Weightlifting


Written by

No this isn’t about laser cleans and hologram jerks, this is about the new action by the IOC affecting the future of Weightlifting. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics will feature only 7 Men’s and 7 Women’s weightclasses, showing a 25% reduction in the total number of lifters at the games. Also, the IOC has sent a strong message that weightlifting must clean up its doping problem or face expulsion from the 2024 Games. In this episode of The JuggLife, Max and Chad discuss these issues and how they affect the future of the sport.
