The other category will not be changed for kettlebell weight.

• In order to stop the champion alone. It will propose a coefficient that will group athletes, who are not at least 3, in their category.

Example : 2 athlete in -75kg / 1 athlete in 75-85kg / 3 athlete in +85.

We will gather the category -75kg and 75-85kg and we will apply the coefficient, in order to have a podium filled with 3 athletes. The category + 85kg having 3 athletes will not have the application of the coefficient.

National Rank will give birth to a diploma. This diploma will have national value in the countries. Just below the CMS which is the first international level.

These changes will be applied from January 2020.
