Havana, April 14 (ACN) The International Weightlifting Federation ratified by election Cuban Marina Rodriguez as member of the Athletes’ Commission, according to the local Jit publication.
Rodriguez, first Cuban weightlifter medalist in Pan-Am games---silver in Toronto 2015—was ratified in the commission made up of five women and five men.
Each woman and man in the group represent each continent in the commission which is headed by Ghanaian Forrester Osei, participant in four world weightlifting championships.
