Swimming and Tack and Field have one Championships because they are not objective sports.Powerlifting is objected(judged)and thus its a matter of opinion on whether or not a lift is good.This causes alot of controversy.The IOC has enough headaches with figure skating,boxing,gymnastics etc.Maybe if the IPF scaled down the rule book things would be different.

Case in point-does it really matter if a lifter takes a step after a squat?I mean in weightlifting its pretty much lift the weight u get the lift.There are some technical rules but know where near those of powerlifting.
