A few things happend….
Well had my first Olympic Weightlifting competition… Did ok I think for my first meet.
Missed my first 2 snatches. But got my third one. I think I was a little nervous, happy I made the first 2 Clean and jerks but was red flagged on my last one.
Snatch:
155#/70kg - F
158#/72kg - F
158#/72KG - Sucessful
Clean & Jerk
198#/90kg
209#/95kg
220#/100 kg - F
Also got 3rd Place. There were only 4/5 people in my weight class.
Also saw and met Ashley Perkovich who is a possible Olympic hopeful for the 63kg class for the USA. She Did:
198#/90kg
205#/93kg -F
209#/95kg -F
for the snatch… She actually made 95kg after the failed attempt in the back room.
Then she proceeded to beast out the Clean and Jerks
231#/105kg - S
238#/108kg - F
242#/110kg - F
I think that’s the order she did it in. She cleaned all of them but failed on the Jerks. I think that was one of the high lights of the whole event.
The other high light was this guy in the 85 or 94kg class pulling a 170lbs C&J then ripping his singlet like Hulk hogan. Video is below:
