The FISU Executive Board unanimously decided to allocate the organisation of the next World University Weightlifting Championships in 2014 to Chiang Mai, Thailand. A delegation of the University Sports Board of Thailand with TAWA made a successful bid presentation at the FISU headquarters in Brussels last Saturday. The 2014 WUC will be held at the North-Chiang Mai University and carried out with the support of TAWA in the same venue that hosted the 1997 and 2007 World Championships and the 1st Youth World Championships.
