🔥What a morning!🔥
A huge thanks to everyone who helped bring this competition to life: our committee, volunteers, referees, and spotters. We couldn’t do this without our sponsors, media and livestream team, and of course our fantastic hosts at the @pillohotelashbourne
Most importantly, thank you to the lifters and everyone who came to support them this morning. The atmosphere in the room was electric, and it never fails to impress seeing athletes step onto the platform and deliver after months of hard work.
On the platform, we saw incredible performances, titles defended, new winners crowned, limits tested and barriers broken, all in pursuit of medals, milestones and personal bests.
Congratulations to everyone involved in making this such a memorable and successful event so far. We cant wait to see what the rest of the weekend holds.
