The times of the Corona virus are inventive: the Ocean Weightlifting Association (OWF) wants to organize a world tournament on July 24 and 25. The competition is scheduled to start on the original opening day of the Tokyo Olympics.
Due to the pandemic, each participant is asked to start at their home training location and report the data by email, he says in a message. Due to the form, the tournament is called the International Email Cup.
Invitations have been sent to the 187 national associations, as well as 3,000 individual clubs and athletes. The winners in the ten-man and ten-woman weight classes receive training bars with sponsor locks. The sponsor bears the shipping costs. OWF President Paul Coffa does not want to dismiss fears that false performance reports may occur. “We have to trust that what is shipped is correct,” he said.
