This was the last time Malaysia saw Commonwealth weightlifters competing on Malaysian soil. Eleven years later, thanks to Dato Ong Poh Eng, the Government of Penang, the Malaysian Weightlifting Federation and a remarkable and committed Organising Committee, Penang staged a magnificent event - the 2009 Commonwealth Senior and Junior Weightlifting Championships. The Organising Committee was very lucky that a few countries pulled out, otherwise it would have been impossible to run the competition over two and half days with so many participants taking part, making it the biggest Commonwealth Championships in its history. Over 100 officials also attended the championships. Penang did a splendid job. The sports arena (PISA) where the event was held was superb. The training facility was within the sports arena complex, making it very convenient for all participants. The venue also provided VIP rooms, rest rooms for the athletes, media centre, drug testing facilities, technical officials room and the CWF Office. The stage was also very well set up. Dato Ong Poh Eng- Chairman Organising Committee The accommodation at the Vistana Hotel was five star and all meals were mouth watering and wonderfully presented. Internal transport was first class with luxury buses. The welcome group at the airport did an excellent job in receiving the delegations. For the first time ever, a welcoming dinner for all athletes and officials The Vistana Hotel in Penang was organised the night before the opening ceremony, with many guests attending including YAB TUAN LIM GUAN ENG Chief Minister of Penang and YB LYDIA ONG KOK FOOI EXCO Youth and Sports, Women, Family and Community Development. Entertainment for the evening was very colourful with the Malaysian culture shining through, as was the Opening Ceremony the following day and let’s not forget the closing banquet, where everyone had a wonderful time. Dato Ong Poh Eng, the Chairman of the Organising committee and Vice President of the CWF must be congratulated. He did an outstanding job. His team of volunteers worked extremely hard and very efficiently. They were very instrumental in making the event run smoothly. Congratulations also to the Malaysia Weightlifting Federation in particular its President Dato’ Wira Gan Boon Leong and the General Secretary Mr Roslan Othman. Many thanks must also be extended to the Penang Weightlifting Association in particular its General secretary Mr Francis Lim. And finally, sincere thanks to YB Lydia Ong Kok Fooi for supporting the Championships and I am confident that in the near future Penang will be ready to host a much larger international weightlifting event. YAB Tuan Lim Guan Eng, Chief Minister of Penang.

    OCEANIA WEIGHTLIFTING FEDERATION Newsletter COMMONWEALTH GAMES PREVIEW.. March 20, 2018 Will the medal trend at Commonwealth Games continue for Nauru ? In 1990, the tiny island nation of Nauru – population 10,000 - took part for the first time ever in a Commonwealth Games. Nobody, but nobody in the Commonwealth expected the outcome. They had only one participant. He was the flag bearer and again the only representative of this tiny island. His name was Marcus Stephen. A young boy coached by Paul Coffa in Melbourne, where his father was the Nauru Ambassador to Australia and where Marcus was studying. The college where he was a boarder at St. Bedes College in Melbourne. After the 60kg category finished, a new era for the sport of weightlifting was born in the Pacific. A young Marcus finished up with 3 medals. Gold in the snatch, silver in the clean & jerk and silver in the total. The media was scrambling to find an atlas to see where this island nation of Nauru was. Google in those days of course was non existent. But finding young Marcus was very easy , he was back in training the day after. Marcus Stephen with his 3 Medals from the 1990 Commonwealth Games. A few days after Marcus’s incredible performance , the Queen had invited certain athletes to a luncheon. This invitation included Marcus Stephen who was at that time the novelty. Incredibly however, Marcus Stephen politely declined the invitation. He said that he needed to train during the time of the luncheon and to avoid embarrassment he blamed his coach by saying that he would not allow him to miss a training session.

    Oceania Weightlifting Federation Latest News November , 2011 The 2011 World Championships held in Disneyland, Paris, came to an end on November 13th with a brilliant display of lifting by Iranian superstar Salimikordasiabi Behdad in the 105+kg category. Also the battle between Zhou Lulu from China and Tatiana Kashirina from Russia in the 75+kg women category, both athletes lifted brilliantly, establishing new world records, Tatiana snatching 147Kg and Lulu making a total of 328Kg on this final day. The championships itself set out to break all entry records but unfortunately this did not happen. Almost 730 lifters entered but at the end 519 took part in the men and women. Therefore it did not reach the phenomenal figure of 624 lifters competing at the 1999 World Championships held in Athens. Paris did a very good job in almost all areas. The venue, accommodation, crowd, and the training hall was excellent. The fact that everything was within walking distance made it easy for everyone. Competition was very well presented and the only criticism which could be made was in the accreditation and finance process where many countries complained of the long wait. However as usual, once the competition started everybody forgot the long wait and enjoyed the battles in both the men and women which the competition provided day after day. Malek Chamoun (AUS) in action with 135Kg Manuel Minginfel (FSM) returning back to form. Ele Opeloge (SAM) preparing. There was some incredible performances. The Iranian super heavy Salimikordasiabi Behdad snatching 214kg for a new world record was an awesome performance to witness.

    Oceania Weightlifting Federation THE 2014 OTIP Program – Discovering talent! 4338 entries -166 schools-14 countries What a great result this year’s OTIP program produced. Breaking all records. 4,338 students took part in the program. Almost 1,700 more than last years results. (2312 boys and 2021 girls) The entries came from 166 schools throughout the Oceania region, with 14 countries taking part. There was some outstanding results and we are certainly going to see quite a number of these students in the next year or two, competing in the Oceania Championships. This is a unique program in the world of weightlifting. The OTIP program was implemented by the OWF three years ago to identify talented students throughout the schools of the Oceania region, and in particular the Pacific Island nations. The program has grown each year and it was rewarding to see so many of these students who have participated in the OTIP program competing in the Oceania Championships, Olympic Youth Qualification, Glasgow Commonwealth Games and the recent Olympic Youth Games in Nanjing. This is truly amazing in that such a short time the national federations have been able to tap in on the work that they have done at the school level producing the next generation of champion weightlifters. This program is organised by the OWF in conjunction with all the national federations participating. Obviously without the financial support of the International Weightlifting Federation and also the Oceania National Olympic Committees, this program would not have been possible. The OWF is indebted to Dr. Tamas Ajan, President of the IWF, for his support and enthusiasm towards this program.
