The 2021 IAWA Gold Cup has been scheduled!
Co-meet promoters Steve Gardner and Stevie Shanks have decided that they will “go forth” with the Gold Cup, knowing that many lifters will be limited with travel restrictions. I’m not sure what it will take to get to Belfast, Ireland from the US at the first of November. Lots can happen by that time with new regulations due to the COVID infection rates.
I’m glad to see that the Gold Cup is going to happen though (just as with Worlds) because I hate to see two years in a row these BIG IAWA competitions being cancelled. I know both will be limited to “domestic” lifters only, but that’s still better than being cancelled. Call it a “rebuilding year” for IAWA – with the hope that 2022 can be back to full strength for IAWA.
I’m going to explore options of attending. If anyone in the USAWA is wanting to go please let me know. Below are the information sheets and entry forms:

2019 IAWA GOLD CUP
And so another great IAWA event is over. The Gold Cup here in Perth Australia has been great, all down to great work and organisation by Peter Phillips, John Mahon and Sharni Clifford and other members of the great Western Australia group. The lifting was sensational today and what amazing loading all day by Shaun and Nicki.
It has been great to catch up with so many old friends here pushing the sport strong for the last 20 years plus, Great to see all round lifting looking so healthy in Australia and the group are in a great place using the Lambda Academy as their headquarters with great support from the owners.
As many of you know IAWA is a great big family around the World and it sure is a joy to belong to such a great sporting body. Next year 2020 is going to be super amazing too with great events ahead. These are exciting times in all round lifting, long may it continue, well done to everyone who took part, you should all be proud of yourselves…. long live IAWA

MEET ANNOUNCEMENT –
2019 IAWA GOLD CUP
The Australians have got the 2019 Gold Cup announced! The date is Sunday, November 3rd, 2019. It will be held at the Lambda Academy in Perth.
The Gold Cup is one of the BIG IAWA events every year. It is definitely worth attending. The is your chance to set a new IAWA World Record on the biggest of stages. However, the Gold Cup is much bigger than the competition itself. Just being part of an event where everyone across the world comes together to lift in an All Round competition is an amazing experience. Perth is a very beautiful city to visit, and this Gold Cup gives you the opportunity to see things that will make a lifelong impression.
