Qualification Timeline

We aim to release selection policies as soon as possible after the IWF/EWF confirm the dates and locations of the competition each year. Once the selection policy is released we attempt to keep as closely as possible to the schedule highlighted below.

Selection Philosophy

BWL IQS (International Qualification standards) are based on statistical analysis of predicted Commonwealth Games medal zones.

All age-group totals (Youth, Junior & U23) will be based on these standards from 2019. The standards are mapped across age-groups using averages of the long term career trajectories’ of Britain’s historic CWG medal winners.

Senior IQS from 2022 will be based on Commonwealth Games Medal Zone performance standards. Until 2022 a minimum standard will be used which will ensure the countries top lifters get a chance to remain eligible to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics .

BWL selection policies are created to provide opportunities to gain international competition experience for GB lifters who demonstrate the potential to contribute towards Medals at Birmingham 2022, Paris 2024, or future World and European Senior championships.
