Moira Lassen is the first woman to be elected to the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) and is also Chair of its Women’s Commission. A recent decision by the IWF to add a weight category thus ensuring female weightlifters achieve gender parity was the result of her work to continually develop the sport for women. Moira explains where the sport is now and how women are making their mark for athletes today and future generations in all roles.
