The 2024 European Championships will all but determine who goes to the Olympics this year.
Last updated on February 13th, 2024
It’s getting down to the wire now. The 2024 European Weightlifting Championships (EWC) run in Sofia, Bulgaria from Feb. 12 to 20. This year’s EWC will not only host many of the best weightlifters in Europe — as well as distinguished guests from Team USA — but also represents one of the final opportunities to secure a spot on the International Weightlifting Federation’s (IWF) top-10 ranking leaderboards.
Anyone who wants to compete in the 2024 Olympics in Paris this August must be on that leaderboard. As such, you can expect the bars in Sofia to be loaded with some truly jaw-dropping weights. BarBend will update the 2024 European Championships results page in real time; check back regularly to find out who won Euros this year and who punched their ticket to Paris this summer.

Team USA at the 2024 European Weightlifting Championships?
Notably, the American weightlifting contingent will be present at the 2024 EWC in Sofia. Team USA’s default continental event is the Pan American Championships, which take place this year in Caracas, Venezuela. However, due to safety and logistical concerns related to traveling to Venezuela, the IWF has approved Team USA to compete at this year’s EWC instead.
American weightlifters are not eligible to win medals at the 2024 European Weightlifting Championships, but their performances will count toward the Olympic qualification process for Paris. You can find the full roster of Team USA athletes as well as their current rankings and best lifts here.
