British Open Series 8 2021 Results

The 2021 British Open Series has now reached round eight which concluded at the end of August. As we return to in person competitions, and the summer holidays the number of entries has slightly reduced. This has not detracted from the level of competition with entrants utilising the opportunity to develop their platform skills and add to their points tally to go towards the yearly total.

The event was run online via Launchpad with lifters submitting their pre-recorded videos which were then adjudicated and certified by three random licensed BWL Technical Officials.

Congratulations must be given to all of the entrants who have put in some outstanding performances this month.

GB Weightlifter Jenny Tong was the standout female lifter with an impressive 179kg total scoring 245.022 points in the senior women’s 59kg category, with Nikki Hamilton representing Kilmarnock also impressing in the senior women’s 64kg category with a 170kg total and with 229.190 points.
