Altogether some 500 athletes and their trainers from 40 countries will take part in the global competition that begins April 5 and will run through April 12, 2014. “This is a championship with many viewers across Europe. The city of Tel Aviv is proud to host such an important contest and welcomes sporting events as such,” says Ron Huldai, Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo.

Last year Apti Aukhadov started in every competition. He needs to “recharge his batteries” and will skip Europeans. Remember that he will also move up to 94kg. The same goes for David Bedzhanyan, who will also skip the 2014 Europeans.
Ruslan Albegov will most likely lift in the Europeans (without needing to qualify first). For worlds he has to qualify for a spot on the team like everybody else.
Chingiz Mogushkov will also skip the Russian Cup and Europeans. He, like the others, will prepare for the Russian Championships (18-25 August in Grozny) to qualify for the worlds team.
Alexandr Ivanov does not take part in the training camp, because he is busy with the torch relay for the winter Olympics. He can also skip the Russian Cup and go straight to Europeans (via).
Dmitry Lapikov, Dmitry Berestov are planning to lift in the Europeans. For this they first need to lift in the Russian Cup (10-17 February) to qualify for the National team (via). Remember that Berestov recently lifted 190+220 at a regional competition in Moscow. This would be a “good enough result for Europeans” said Venkov, but not enough for worlds where you need to total around 425kg.
Khadzhimurat Akkaev still has health problems and is not allowed to lift (via) Athletes have to pass in-depth medical examinations before joining the training camps. It was also mentioned in this article that these thorough medical examinations are important, “because usually 50% will have problems with the teeth.”
Svetlana Tsarukayeva is still battling with her knee injury. After a year of unsuccessful treatment in Russia she now underwent surgery in Germany (via). Full rehabilitation will take 5-6 months. Doping News
