I’m proud to announce my candidacy for the IWF Athletes’ Commission!

Weightlifting has been part of my life since I was 7. Competing internationally at senior level since 2010, including two Olympic Games — Rio 2016 & Tokyo 2020 — I’ve experienced the highs, the setbacks and the challenges that come with our sport.

Since the Athletes’ Commission was established, I’ve followed its work closely and had the opportunity to exchange ideas with its members.

These conversations reinforced my belief that athletes need representatives who listen, communicate openly and are willing to take responsibility.

Now, I feel ready to take on that responsibility myself.

I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I’m ready to listen, speak up and put in the work.

Your voice matters! And I’m ready to represent it.

I’d be grateful for your trust and support!

🌍 HAPPY WORLD WEIGHTLIFTING DAY 🌍

From Uganda to Africa, and from Africa to the world, we celebrate the strength, discipline, resilience, and determination that make weightlifting more than just a sport.

As an African weightlifter, I am proud to represent Uganda on the international stage. Every lift represents a dream, every training session builds character, and every competition brings us closer to new possibilities.

Weightlifting has the power to empower young people, create opportunities, build stronger communities, and unite nations. But for African weightlifting to reach its full potential, we need greater investment, better facilities, more competitions, and continued support for our athletes.

Today, let us celebrate not only the strength we lift, but also the future we are building together. Africa has the talent. Africa has the potential. Now is the time to give our athletes the opportunities to shine.

Weightlifting is more than a sport. It is a platform for a stronger, healthier, and more united Africa.

⁨ روز جهانی وزنه‌برداری مبارک✨🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♀️
فدراسیون بین‌المللی وزنه‌برداری (IWF) امروز روز جهانی وزنه‌برداری را جشن می‌گیرد؛ روزی برای ارج نهادن به قدرت، شور و اشتیاق و اتحاد در ورزشی که همچنان الهام‌بخش ورزشکاران و جوامع سراسر جهان است. 🌍🌎🌏

روز جهانی وزنه‌برداری در سال ۲۰۲۴ پایه‌گذاری شد. این روز فرصتی است تا از همه کسانی که این ورزش را ارزشمند و خاص می‌کنند، قدردانی کنیم؛ از ورزشکاران، مربیان و مسئولان گرفته تا داوطلبان، هواداران و فدراسیون‌های ملی که با تلاش بی‌وقفه برای توسعه وزنه‌برداری فعالیت می‌کنند. 👍🏻

کمتر از دو هفته دیگر، توجه‌ها به شهر نینگبو در چین معطوف خواهد شد؛ جایی که برترین وزنه‌برداران جهان گرد هم می‌آیند تا در رقابت‌هایی شرکت کنند که پیش‌بینی می‌شود یکی از مسابقات فوق‌العاده قهرمانی جهان فدراسیون بین‌المللی وزنه‌برداری باشد. 🇨🇳

این رقابت‌ها فرصت دیگری برای تجلیل از بالاترین سطح این رشته ورزشی فراهم می‌کنند و در عین حال، مرحله‌ای مهم در مسیر کسب سهمیه برای بازی‌های المپیک لس‌آنجلس ۲۰۲۸ به شمار می‌روند.

محمد جلود، رئیس فدراسیون بین‌المللی وزنه‌برداری، گفت:
«روز جهانی وزنه‌برداری جشنی برای بزرگداشت قدرت ورزش ماست؛ اما مهم‌تر از آن، جشنی برای افرادی است که این ورزش را به چیزی که امروز هست تبدیل کرده‌اند.

در طول سال گذشته، شاهد عملکردهای فوق‌العاده، ثبت رکوردهای جدید و ظهور استعدادهای جوان و هیجان‌انگیز از گوشه‌وکنار جهان بوده‌ایم. این تنوع و اشتیاق مشترک، قدرت خانواده جهانی وزنه‌برداری ما را نشان می‌دهد.

اکنون که به مسابقات قهرمانی جهان وزنه‌برداری در نینگبو و بازی‌های المپیک لس‌آنجلس ۲۰۲۸ نگاه می‌کنیم، می‌توانیم به پیشرفت‌های خود افتخار کنیم و با اطمینان به آینده بنگریم.» 🙏🏻

در روز جهانی وزنه‌برداری، فدراسیون بین‌المللی وزنه‌برداری از تمام اعضای جامعه جهانی این رشته دعوت می‌کند تا در جشن گرفتن دستاوردها، دوستی‌ها و اهداف مشترکی که این ورزش را به هم پیوند می‌دهند، مشارکت کنند.⁩
