If you are a weightlifter and are even the tiniest bit a weightlifting fan, then you need to be at Risto Sports March 16 and 17.
For example, if someone told me that Naim Suleymonglu and his coach was going to be in a 500 mile radius of me a random weekend in March, then I would trek my butt to wherever that was.. because well Olympic Gold Medalists in the last 20 yrs Century just don't fall out of the sky in the USA. It's like Haley's comet.
Well, kind of the equivalent of that is happening in Eliot, Maine March 16 and 17th 2013. Ok, get ready to implode from the weightlifting awesomeness .....
Risto Sports is having an International Conference on Olympic Weightlifting that weekend..here's the who's who of who will be there - in no particular order:
1. Several Weightlifting federations will be sending important coaches just to participate and listen to the speakers.
The following person is attending the seminar - Kazakhstan is sending you know who's coach just to attend. Did you know that he used to be a PhD student of Dr Herrera's? Yes, DR Herrera really is that well known and prestigious.
