    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS ad hoc Division (OG Rio) 16/028 Behdad Salimi & National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran (NOCIRI) v. International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), award of 21 August 2016 Panel: Mrs Carol Roberts (Canada), President; Mrs Margarita Echeverria (Costa Rica); Mr Mohammed Abdel Raouf (Egypt) Weightlifting Decision of the Jury overturning a decision of the referees Field of play decision CAS jurisprudence has consistently reaffirmed that CAS arbitrators do not overturn the decisions made on the playing field by judges, referees, umpires or other officials charged with applying the rules of the game unless there is some evidence, which generally must be direct evidence that the rule was applied in arbitrarily or in bad faith. CAS arbitrators are not specifically trained in the rules of any or all sports and do not have the advantage of being present to observe the events. It would be unfair to a decision‐maker as well as to athletes to interfere with decisions made by match officials, who are the technical experts, in these circumstances. Other practical reasons for the “field of play” doctrine include the prevention of constant interruptions of the game by appeals to a judge or an arbitrator. 1 PARTIES 1. The First Applicant is an athlete from Iran in the sport of weightlifting (the “Athlete”). 2. The Second Applicant is the National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran (“NOCIRI”). 3. The Respondent is the International Weightlifting Federation (the “IWF”). 4. The first interested party is the International Olympic Committee (the “IOC”).

  • Olympic Weightlifting
    Olympic Weightlifting Olympic weightlifting, or weightlifting, is an athletic discipline in the modern Olympic programme in which the athlete attempts a maximum-weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates. Qualifying – the road to Rio Qualification is based on the results of the 2014 and 2015 International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Championships and the 2016 Continental Championships. No more than six men and four women can qualify per country, with a maximum of two athletes per event. Brazil, as host country, is guaranteed five quota places, three for men and two for women. No New Zealand weightlifters have qualified for Rio as yet. The best chance for qualification for our weightlifters is via the Oceania qualifying event being held in Fiji in early 2016. At this event qualifying is based on team results, not individuals. Teams must place in the top three for women to gain one Olympic spot, and men must place in the top four to gain a spot. A women’s team has seven members and a men’s team has eight. If the New Zealand teams are successful at this qualification event in gaining places at the Rio Games, then our selectors will choose one male weightlifter and one female weightlifter to go (in agreement with the NZOC). Rio 2016 Weightlifting When: Competition will take place over 10 days from 7-14 August 2016 (with no competition on 15 August). Where: Riocentro – Pavilion 2. Men will compete in eight events based on athlete weight categories, from under 56kg to the super- heavyweights at over 105kg.
