Final entry to the European Weightlifting Junior Championships
From Tuesday, July 28 to Saturday August 1 Europe's best juniors will compete in weightlifting in Landskrona, Sweden. Final notifications have now been received and we note that it will be the largest European Weightlifting Championships ever in Scandinavia.

Three nations come with full team for both women and men, 15 pc. It is Poland, Russia and Turkey. Bulgaria has notified 14 weightliftes, Spain and Ukraine have 10 each. A total of 32 nations have reported 182 lifters spread over 116 men and 66 women. Two more nations are represented by officials or referees, a total of 34 nations.

Swedish Weightlifting Federation had some hopes that the notifications would be around 200 in total. But some countries, including Greece, have withdrawn their notification.

One last chance to adjust the starting lists are at the Congress at July 27. Then you can not modify more.
The Congress will establishe the time schedule, but already it can be said that it will be some long days with up to five groups. Each group contains about 10 lifters.
