The Lifters & Officials of the 2024 British All-Round and Southern Cup Championships
A few words from Steve Gardner:
Wow, just wow, what a flipping good day at the British All Rounds and the Southern Cup at Eastbourne today.
22 lifters made it onto the platform to take on the six lifts.
Paul and Adrian did an exceptional job of hosting the event at Metamorfit Gym and all of the work put in by the officials and the lifters and especially the lifters who helped out with the loading, was just terrific, so well done everyone !
Some new lifters took part and did a superb job alongside the seasoned Champions taking part… the youngest lifter was in the Junior 13s and under, category, and the oldest was in the 70+ Masters division.
The British All round lifts were: Continental Snatch, Power Row and 2 inch bar Straddle ….
The Southern Cup lifts were: One hand Swing, Pullover at arms length and the One hand Dumbell Deadlift
Lots of records were broken and set.
