Thanks for posting this Bill. I've always been a huge fan of the O-lifts!
I've got the competition streaming now, wish it was on ESPN so I could watch on the big screen.
Good Luck Sarah!:lifter:lifter:lifter

My question is "Did you ever arm wrestle her for who buys the next beer?"
Again, Good luck Sarah - you got game and great style.

Sarah just moved up one weight class and told me a couple days ago that the competition was going to be tough.
Pete, No I will not challenge her to an arm wrestling contest for beer, she would break my arm off and beat me with it for the bad calories beer has.

Excellent!
I'm an Oly-fan myself, and would train for it...if I wasn't training for something else. ;)
Best of luck to her.
So Bill, Which of your blades does she use?
Good times,
Blake
Been out of the loop a couple of days, best of luck to your friend Mr. H!!

Sarah took 4th at nationals in her new weight class of 69 kilos.
I was told (not by Sarah) that one of the women in her event, a former Olympic Team member, dropped one weight class down into Sarah's. This is the woman who won it. Tough competition, just like Sarah told me it would be.

After speaking with Sarah and showing her this thread, found out that the three women that beat her all dropped down one weight class into hers to get points towards the US Olympic Team.
Sarah also says "Thanks!" for the support.
Bill,
I use a fork-lift when lifting that amount of weight.:o
Stay safe.
