Great news!!

Hopeful that it can make a Para-Olympic appearance in 2032.

Wow, this is really coming together fast. I assume 2028 isn't realistic since there's been no world championship yet, but it sounds like 2032 is?

This is great news. The COP/classification rules design process should be really interesting.

Anyone wanna take a bet on Glasgow hosting the first para-worlds?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to host para worlds as part of worlds. Given that there is usually quite a bit of time where the arena isn’t in use such as in the mornings.

And the early years could use a boost from the gym fans who are going to Worlds anyway.

If that's doable, it would be great.

That would be great. I’d go.
