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 🙂
