The Phuket meet, to be held in Thailand starting on Sunday, is the final qualifying event for weightlifting at the Paris Olympics. Australia’s seven-member team includes five women and two men, including Commonwealth Games medallists Eileen Cikamatana and Sarah Cochrane. Live streaming of the IWF World Cup 2024 weightlifting events will be available in Australia, allowing fans to watch the competition unfold. Athletes competing at the event have a chance to improve their Olympic Qualification Ranking (OQR), which is based on the best total results they achieve in any of the qualifying competitions. The top 10 weightlifters in each Olympic weight class based on OQR will secure Olympic quotas for their national teams after the qualification cycle concludes in April. The Phuket event is mandatory for Paris 2024 hopefuls, as attendance is necessary to be eligible to compete at the Summer Games in July-August. Some notable Australian weightlifters competing at the IWF World Cup 2024 include Eileen Cikamatana in the women’s 81kg category and Kiana Elliott in the women’s 59kg category. Fans can watch live streaming of the event on Facebook page of International Weightlifting Federation. With a strong team representing Australia, fans can expect some impressive performances from their weightlifters in Phuket.
