Cougars members at the Oceania & Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships

 

This competition being an Olympic Games qualifier meant that our nominated 6 men and 4 women had all to total and also place high in order for us to be allowed to send 1 man and 1 women to the Olympics.

If one failed we were out ! – It was high pressure lifting and coaching.
