  "summary": "Moscow has been selected to host the 2030 World Weightlifting Championships, marking the first time an Olympic federation has chosen to stage a global event in Russia since the country's invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) made the announcement four months after confirming Russian athletes would again be eligible to compete in its events, following the International Olympic Committee (IOC) lifting a suspension on the Russian Olympic Committee. Moscow, which last hosted the World Weightlifting Championships in 1983, has been praised by the Russian Weightlifting Federation for their experience and capabilities to host such a high-level competition.",
