Host Selection Controversy

Summarize
Perspective

The European Weightlifting Federation (EWF) picked Moldova to host the 2025 European Senior Weightlifting Championships during its Congress in February 2024.[4] But this choice has stirred up some controversy due to questions about conflicts of interest and how the decision was made of selecting the host.

Moldova's bid was presented without a vote from the Congress, which goes against the EWF's rules. EWF President Antonio Conflitti, who also leads the Weightlifting Federation of Moldova, is under radar for his dual roles, raising concerns about fairness.[5]

On the flip side, the Georgian bid, led by Olympic champions Kakhi Kakhiashvili, George Asanidze, and Lasha Talakhadze, offered some pretty attractive deals, including a budget of 2 million euros and reasonable accommodation prices.

EWF First Vice-President Maksim Agapitov slammed the decision, claiming it was biased because of Conflitti’s influence, especially since Moldova is politically unstable. The Georgian Weightlifting Federation pointed out that it’s essential to have transparency when choosing a host country and suggested that all bids should have been open for discussion at the Congress. They also mentioned plans to submit a new bid for the 2026 European Weightlifting Championships. With the details of Moldova’s bid still not fully out there, concerns about the transparency of the selection process and the legitimacy of the decision hanged in the air.[6]

Later in 2024, in the congress meeting, the 2026 European Weightlifting Championships hosting rights were given to Georgia backhand seeing the backlash from Georgian Federation.[7]
