Powerlifting should be in the Olympics
Due to the popularity of the sport and the amount of athletes it commits, powerlifting should be in the Olympics.
Powerlifting uses the similar components but with bench press, the sport has grown over the years and has become increasingly popular with over 100,000 following the IPF page.
The government need to put powerlifting in the Olympics alongside Para-powerlifting as the sport is so established. Recruiting over hundreds of countries to join in this sport, many young and old of different background. The sport even has well established weight classes, and shows both female and male representatives.
The sport will only perform classic.
There will strict guidelines and regulations for all aspects of the sports.
Only Bench, Squat and Deadlifts will be performed.
