Video of all lifts at Tokyo 2020
As the closing Ceremony of the Olympics was finishing I was reflecting on Tokyo 2020 and what a journey it had been for Brandon
I was so so happy for him on many fronts when he walked off the platform after his last lift ….
He managed to qualify
The Olympics actually went ahead
He was not injured or got Covid19 there so he could lift on the Olympic platform
He got a great result - second biggest total and first 6/6 for 5 years
He had an awesome time
The journey started nearly 3 years ago at the World Championships in Turkmenistan in 2018
In what was a grueling qualifying process and its great to see it all worked out and he is now an Olympian :)
