Place: Kiskunfelegyhaza, Hungary, European Championships
Participants: R. Siska, F. Seewald, M. Schröder

First topic discussed:
1. Change of weigh-in times

Change of the weighing times

A preliminary discussion on this topic was held with the organiser of the European Championships in Hungary, Laszlo Nemeth, on 03.06.2025.

In order to improve the organisation of the competition and to improve the information provided to the athletes, it was proposed that in future 2 weighing times on the day before the competition day be made mandatory for all starters and that the early weigh-in on the day of the competition be cancelled.

For each competition day, all athletes starting on that day will be weighed the day before.

– the first weigh-in         is the day before from 10:00 – 12:00

– the second weigh-in   is the day before from 15:00 – 19:00

Weighing on the day before the competition results in the following improvements in the organisational process:

– After the last weigh-in, the organiser of the championship can draw up the exact schedule for the following competition day and the group divisions on the evening before.

– The schedule and groupings will be published on the WUAP website the evening before, shortly after the weigh-in. The aim is to publish them by 22:00.

– Athletes have the opportunity to find out their start time after publication and to prepare themselves optimally for the competition.

The change to the weighing times was confirmed unanimously and is to be applied for the first time at the WUAP World Championships 2025 in Nitra.
