Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have recognized that there are some misinterpretations regarding establishing World or Regional records on National Championships. To give you an easy guide, when the IPF is accepting World an Regional records, here the list of National Championships (Powerlifting and BenchPress) were the IPF Record Registrar will accept World and Regional records:
National Championships for Men
National Championships for Women
or National Championships for Men & Women (combined)

National Championships for Sub-Juniors
National Championships for Juniors
or National Championships for Sub-Juniors & Juniors (combined)

National Championships for Masters Men
National Championships for Masters Women
or National Championships for Masters Men & Women (combined).

This definition is valid beginning 1st of January 2008. All other Technical Rules regarding World and International Records (refer to TR page 32-33) are further on valid and must be also considered when your federation applies for World and Regional Records.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Forms can be loaded down from  IPF Referees 2004-2007, click here! 

The nation’s/referee will receive the new label when the renewel fee/-s have been payed and the form/-s are in my possession.

Dear Sports colleagues,

As agreed at the IPF-Congress in Stavanger / Norway 2006 we have build up a Lifters Commission and a Coach Commission. The member nations have sent their member proposals to me. After completing the list the proposed commission members have selected within their group the speaker.

If you have ideas, questions, strategic visions, how to improve and develop our sport, please do not hesitate and contact the members of the Lifters Commission and Coach Commission. They will discuss your suggestions and present a conclusion to the IPF-Executive and the IPF-Committees.

These both commissions are an improvement for our sport and please use the opportunity to contact the members. You can also contact all other members of the Committees, when you have an idea etc.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best wishes
Detlev Albrings
IPF General Secretary

"World Police & Fire Games, Adelaide Australia March 2007.
All IPF nations, lifters & officials should note this is not an IPF run or sanctioned event. The IPF has been advised that athletes or officials under suspension will be allowed to participate in the Powerlifting events at the Games. The Powerlifting events have been called "Bench Press" & "Push Pull".  Any IPF lifter or official taking part in these Games thus runs the risk of contravening the IPF rules regarding participation in non-sanctioned events & against suspended lifters or officials. The IPF strongly advises lifters & officials to not participate in these Games".

Special sponsorship/award of ER Equipment Denmark
Erik Rasmussen informed us that ER Equipment Denmark gives each Best Women & Men Team (together) at the World Bench Press Championships in Thisted / Denmark and the Men’s and Women’s World Championships in Soelden / Austria a Squat & Benchpress rack with safety stands.
This is a very generous sponsorship/award of ER Equipment and the IPF Executive appreciates this idea.
To win this attractive award I call the member nations to send a complete Women and Men team to the World Championships.

FROM THE IPF TECHNICAL COMMITTEE

Dear All,

In a recent issue of Powerlifting USA Magazine, a full page advertisement by one of our leading licensees, illustrates and describes A ( POWER - RATCHET BELT ).

This type of fastening was rejected by both the Technical Committee and Executive Committee approximately two and a half years ago, on the grounds that it was considered unsafe/dangerous to the lifter should an emergency arise and would need to be removed quickly. Therefore, it must be recognised that ( POWER - RATCHET BELT ) is illegal for use in IPF Competition.

A few days prior to the World Games in Duisburg IPF President Norbert Wallauch has been awarded with one of the highest decorations of the Republic of Austria: the "Decoration of Honour in Gold for Services to the Republic of Austria", classified as the Knight's Cross 1st class. The adjudgement has been made by the President of the Federal Republic of Austria, Dr. Heinz Fischer, the presentation of the order by the States Secretary for Sports, Mag. Karl Schweitzer.
 
Norbert Wallauch was honoured for almost five decades being involved into sports, as a successfull hammer thrower, weightlifter and since 1961 as a powerlifter. He was and still is a member of several sports boards in Austria, founder and long time President of the Austrian Powerlifting Federation and from 1999 on President of the International Powerlifting Federation, the only Austrian to conduct an international sports federation.
As a many years sports editor of "Kronen Zeitung", the biggest daily newspaper in his country with almost 3 million (!) readers, he reported from
8 Olympic Games and numerous other big sports events and is now a highly esteemed Sportombudsman who cares on everybody in sport who feels to be badly treated.
 
Congratulations, Norbert! Your decoration is a big honour for your personal merits as well as for our sport Powerlifting.
