2019 IAWA GOLD CUP
Lifters at the 2019 IAWA Gold Cup in Perth, Australia.
And so another great IAWA event is over. The Gold Cup here in Perth Australia has been great, all down to great work and organisation by Peter Phillips, John Mahon and Sharni Clifford and other members of the great Western Australia group. The lifting was sensational today and what amazing loading all day by Shaun and Nicki.
It has been great to catch up with so many old friends here pushing the sport strong for the last 20 years plus, Great to see all round lifting looking so healthy in Australia and the group are in a great place using the Lambda Academy as their headquarters with great support from the owners.
As many of you know IAWA is a great big family around the World and it sure is a joy to belong to such a great sporting body. Next year 2020 is going to be super amazing too with great events ahead. These are exciting times in all round lifting, long may it continue, well done to everyone who took part, you should all be proud of yourselves…. long live IAWA
