2021 Oceania Weightlifting Championships

2021 Oceania
Weightlifting Championships

Host city	Various
Dates	24–26 September 2021
Main venue	Linked by video

The 2021 Oceania Weightlifting Championships were contested from 24 to 26 September 2021.[1]

The enduring impact of COVID-19 (which required cancellation of the 2020 championships, otherwise set to be held in Nauru[2]) led to the competition being held in various venues across Oceania with competitors and officials linked by video, as opposed to a single competition venue.[3][4] It was the first time results in a virtual competition were officially endorsed by the International Weightlifting Federation.[5]
