Report by I.A.W.A. President Al Myers:

The results for the FIRST EVER OTSM World Championship have finally been compiled.  I was so impressed with the participation in this Championship, with 5 women and 19 men competing. Also, lifters from Australia (8 lifters), the USA (11 lifters), England (4 lifters), and Wales (1 lifter) were part of this Championships. That indeed makes it a World event! I sure hope this continues as an annual IAWA Championship – and for those that entered this year will always go down in history as part of the inaugural class of OTSM IAWA lifters.  That’s something to be proud of!

Additional information for competitors and visitors can be found here.

As many of you have been anticipating final details relating to this year’s world champs we have to advise that due to circumstances beyond our control we have to change the venue of this year’s competition. Our new venue will be Eastbourne Sports Park and the dates remain the same (6th&7th October), as do the lifts. I will be promoting this year’s event with Steve Gardner assisting. Full venue details, application form and information for visitors will be released in the next couple of days. This will be an exciting event and we are lucky to have such a great venue.

We are pleased to confirm that the recent test taken at the British Power Champs has returned a negative result!
