Lockdown Lift Off Round 1 Results

Lockdown Lift Off Round 1 saw over 40 lifters from across the UK lift in their homes to compete for the first time since the UK lockdown began in March.

From lifting in kitchens to gardens and garages, the first round of the new virtual competition featuring the Snatch lift was a fantastic show of the commitment and determination of the weightlifting community to stay strong throughout this time.

Every submission was reviewed by a BWL Technical Official, with a comment left on the video to indicate whether each attempt was successful, and any areas of improvement.  In addition, each submission was given a rating out of five stars based on the lifting technique.  The technique points don’t count towards the score, the placings are based on the highest successful attempt.

The women’s 71kg category was a tie, with both Lucy Pearce (Lakeside WLC) and Macy John  (SA1 Olympic Lifting) lifting 60kg, Pearce took first place though by submitting her entry first.  And in the women’s 81kg category Amy Salt (Wythenshawe WLC) lifted 85kg to beat Sarah Wiltshire (Woking WLC) by just one kilogram!

In the men’s categories, the very first submission of Lockdown Lift Off, by James Richardson in the 73kg category, took first place with an 85kg lift.  Great Britain international Chris Murray (Loughborough University) showed that lockdown doesn’t mean slowdown by taking first place in the 89kg category with a 135kg lift, closely followed by Angus Doig with 130kg.
