World weightlifting championships 2025

School project

The 2025 World Weightlifting Championship aims to inspire increased activity and the sharing of knowledge that promotes better public health and enhanced quality of life.

In the Norwegian Weightlifting Federation’s strategy, the focus is on “A strong body, a strong mind.” Through various projects leading up to, during, and after the 2025 World Championship, we emphasize social and physical activities tailored to different target groups. We share insights and expertise to improve public health and quality of life.

The school project is one of these important initiatives.

In October 2025, the World Weightlifting Championship will be held in Førde. This is one of the largest international championships ever hosted in Norway, with athletes from around 120 countries.

As part of the “World Championship Project,” there is also a large school project covering important topics such as strength training, anti-doping, nutrition, and lifestyle. Throughout the 2024/25 school year, the 2025 World Championship team will travel around Sogn and Fjordane, visiting secondary schools.

The project involves several instructors who are national team athletes in weightlifting, programs from Antidoping Norway, and assistant instructors from the sports program at Firda Vidaregåadne skule and Tambarskjelvar IL.
