Gender equality has been achieved in weightlifting after the total number of female bodyweight categories was officially increased to eight at a meeting in Beijing.
The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) Executive Committee approved that new events be added at under and over 90 kilograms.
These will replace the old over 75kg category.
This means eight categories now exist for both men and women, fulfilling a longstanding IWF objective for gender equality.
Women will now compete at under 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 75kg, 90kg and over 90kg.
