The world championship in powerlifting by the version of the Amateur World Powerlifting Congress (AWPC) starts in Idaho Falls (USA).
Azerbaijan will be represented by Rufat Aliyev who will take part in the weight category below 125 kg and Jeyhun Veliyev (90 kg).
Amateur World Powerlifting Congress is a division of the WPC Congress. The only difference between the two is that the AWPC is tested; all other rules are the same.
World Powerlifting Congress was established by Ernie Frantz in 1986. The WPC consists of 30 countries worldwide that participate in annual World Championships.
