Sanctioned Weight-Lifting Competition

On the weekend John participated in his second weight-lifting competition.  This was his first sanctioned event; officials from the Ontarion Weight-Lifting Association monitored the event.

Each event starts with a weigh-in.  John's time was 7 am--so we got up early, had a good breakfast and headed up to the College.  The main event area was empty and impressive looking.

 
After the weigh in we drove down to the water front to relax and enjoy the view.  The sun was bright and shining and the ice was shifting creating a beautiful "crunchy" looking picture.

The snatch--this looks tough to me.

John did very well in his lifts.  He earned the Silver Medal in his weight class.  Well done John.
