Over 500 sportspeople from about 30 countries are expected at the Chisinau Arena, where the Kettlebell World Championship (kettlebell lifting) will take place on June 4-7. This is one of the most important international competitions dedicated to this discipline.

The event will bring together athletes in the junior, senior, masters, and para-kettlebell categories, providing a top-level competitive platform for sportspeople from all over the world.

The state secretary in the sports field, Sergiu Gurin, thanked the relevant Federation for its efforts in organizing and hosting the World Championship in  Moldova. Gurin emphasized the importance of this event for promoting sport and strengthening the country’s image internationally.
