2012 Oceania & Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships Including the Continental Olympic Qualification event
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.
