World Postal Championships

2016 IAWA World Postal Championships
The Andy Goddard Memorial

The results of the 2016 IAWA World Postal Championships are in! The World Postal is one of 3 IAWA competitions each year, with the Gold Cup and the World Championships being the others.  This World Postal gives lifters an opportunity to compete in an IAWA event without the expense of traveling.  There’s really no reason not to enter.  I want to especially thank promoter Steve Gardner for making this happen. Steve gives so much of his time ensuring the future success of the IAWA. All of us need to thank him for this!

These are a few words Steve had in relaying the results of the World Postal,  “24 Teams and 63 lifters…an outstanding result! A big well done and thank you to all who supported The Andy Goddard Memorial event, and congratulations all on your World Rankings!!”

I was so glad to see so many countries represented in this World Postal Championships. It gives great credence to the IAWA being a World organization. I want to thank all lifters who participated from England, the United States, Australia, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Your support is what keeps these events occurring.
