Important Note:
Changes of the timetable are possible by the amount of nominations at the Final nomination and at
the Technical Meeting. It may happen that weight classes are changed to different days. So it is
important for the athletes not to book arrivals/departures days very close to the competition days.
Victory Ceremonies will be held immediately after each lifting session. It will be mandatory that
each athlete wear their National Team warm-up/track suit for the award presentation.
