2009 IPC Powerlifting European Championships

The IPC is currently in the process of identifying an alternative location for the 2009 IPC Powerlifting Championships. The IPC explored the possibility of hosting these Championships in Bonn, Germany, but due to limited commercial and governamental support, this option was not feasible. We will keep the IPC Powerlifting community informed as to our progress in this regard.

IPC Powerlifting fully recognizes that this may come as a disappointment; however we would like to take this opportunity to convey that IPC Powerlifting is making every effort to make these Championships occur successfully.
