Rule Text by Organization

IKLF International Kettlebell Lifting Federation

Both men and women can compete in all six BOLT events, including all double kettlebell lifts. There is no restriction on which events a gender can enter. This was a founding principle of the IKLF when most other organizations restricted women to single kettlebell events only.

See the interactive comparison on KETTLEBELL MONSTER™ for filterable views and more detail.
