I.A.W.A. GOLD CUP 2023

By Paul Barette

Gold cup

 

I.A.W.A. GOLD CUP 2023 – 4TH NOVEMBER, EASTBOURNE

 

Entries are now being welcomed for the 2023 IAWA Gold Cup at MetamorFIT Gym, Eastbourne England!

Please note – Closing Date for entries is Saturday 14th October!

The Gold Cup is IAWA’s annual international record breakers event.

To take part, lifters must be the holder of an IAWA World Record.

Lifters have the opportunity to choose a lift and attempt to break (or set) a World Record in their age and weight class on that lift, but the first attempt has to be for the record. Three further attempts can then be taken.

If successful they receive a trophy based on the theme ‘Gold Cup’ presented at the evening award ceremony.

Lifters also have the opportunity to compete against each other to determine the overall winner (based on Blindt score, age & bodyweight) for the Howard Prechtel Memorial Award.

Usually (time permitting) lifters have an opportunity to attempt a record in a second choice lift.

Please direct any enquiries to the promoter –

The time has come again for the Old Time Strongman championship.  This year’s championship will be held yet again at my House of Iron and stone in God’s country, USA.  Accommodations are same as before: lots of iron, no climate control, and no running water.  It is a good place for heavy lifting and good USAWA camaraderie.  We usually have a decent turnout for this one.  I hope this year is no exception.  Details are below:

Date: September 9, 2023

Time 10:30 AM

Athlete of the Year

By Eric Todd

Abe Smith awarded Athlete of the Year

Abe Smith awarded Athlete of the Year

 

Athlete of the year is described as follows 

This award is for the individual who has accomplished the most athletically within the last year in the USAWA. Top placings at the Nationals and World Championships should figure in high. Also, participation in other Championship Competitions such as the Heavy Lift Championships, the Grip Championships, the Club Championships, the OTSM Championships, the Team Championships, or the National Postal Championships could factor in.  Participation in elite IAWA events such as the Gold Cup should make an influence on earning this award as well.

For the second year in a row, this accolade goes to Abe Smith.  I have known Abe for around 20 years, and have been beaten in competitions by Abe for about 20 years.  Any of you that know Abe know that he is in contention to win just about any meet he enters.  Since nationals last year, Abe won the second quarter postal.  He was fourth by formula in the Clark’s Gym vs frank’s Barbell Club postal challenge.  He completed all the lifts at the Clark’s Birthday weekend meet, and won three events outright. He was overall best lifter in the 2022 Andy Goddard World Postal and was second in the National Postal Championship.  Abe won the Zercher Strength classic, and was fourth in the first quarter postal.  Abe is always a tough competitor, and is very deserving of this recognition.  Congrats, Abe!
