Lift for Leroy RD

By Erict Todd

MEET RESULTS – “LIFT FOR LEROY” RECORD DAY

“Lift for Leroy” a KCSTRONGMAN record day was held yesterday at the House of Iron and Steel.  We sanctioned this in addition to completing our national postal events.  We had originall planned for 6 lifters, but the Weather kept Dean away, and Greg could not make it out either.  It ended up being Sir Lance Alot, Scottish Johnny, myself, and the meet’s namesake, Leroy.

We started the day off by completing the events for the National Postal.  The lifting was good, we had a great time, but I will leave those results for Denny’s meet report.

After the postal was completed, we went right into our record day.  Between the four lifters, we completed a wide array of lifts.  Results are as follws:

The meet turned out to be a great success. In addition to the 7 lifters competing in this event we also had a special guest, Mr. Adrian Blindt, who has competed in IAWA events in the past. It was held at Frank’s Barbell Club in East Walpole, Massachusetts.

Christopher Lestan brought along his younger brother Erik as well as his friend and lifting partner Mike Duran. These young guns were impressive to watch!

And let’s not forget the Ciavattone family who was well represented by Jeff, Joe Sr. and Frank.

It’s always a great time when we are able to get together and lift weights, cheer each other on, tell stories, and have a few laughs!

Congratulations to Jeff Ciavattone who was overall Champion of this event!

And a special thanks to Frank, Jeff, and Joe Sr. who officiated the meet.

The 2018 Gold Cup is over and we look forward to next years event in Perth Australia. Reflecting on this years event, which was spectacular, and finished with 22 new IAWA World Record Holders, I cant help but think how lucky we are to have such great people amongst our numbers, an International family of All Round Weightlifters who come together and compete in a spirit of goodwill and ready to support one another without question…. and the result is some really fantastic lifting, just as it was yesterday. Everyone is so grateful to Paul Barette and Adrian Pryor for putting on this years Gold Cup, and what a superb event and banquet it was too. Thanks again to everyone who attended from wherever they had travelled, coming together to make it an unforgettable event,and what better fitting end than for Paul Barette to take the Howard Prechtel Award too with an outstanding Strict Bent Press, yes another super event, the 29th Gold Cup!!!
