Let me invite you to the junior Men's and Women's World Weightlifting Championships which take place in Prague - the capital of Czech Republic. Weightlifting is one of the basic sports of the Olympic Games and it boats 112 years of existence in the Czech Republic this year.

We all, who are concerned in the Championship's in the Championship's preparation, are interested in good organization and high sport level. We'll try to offer you the best impressions during the Championship.
