Heard lots of Wayne Smith over the years from Thom. Was honored to meet him last year at nationals. Sorry for the loss.

I thought Worlds was awesome!!! Al and Chad did a great job promoting this. I had a ball, got to catch up with old friends and meet some new people. Wish I would have been able to compete.

Good story Thom.

I will say that if I was attempting a Steinborne, I would prefer no one tries to spot me. If I am going to miss it I would prefer to get away from harm then to have someone there trying to “spot ” me-probably mostly getting in the way.

Speaking of the Steinborne, does anyone else remember at one of the early Dino Days a–round meets (might have even been the first one, I would have to check) when Burtzloff was doing the steinborne where he took it to one shoulder then spun it around and he almost killed Clark? And Clark did not budhe from that head judge chair-did not even blink I dont think.

An assistant may be used to place a foot against the end of the bar when it is lifted and lowered to keep the bar from sliding on the platform. However, the assistant must not aid in the lifting or lowering of the bar in any other manner.

Not sure if this is how the rule has always been stated (will have to check my old rule book) but I dont note that Denny is helping Al lift or lower the bar in that pic.

I just wanted to say that, regardless of the outcome, I would like to thank Steve and Al for giving us the opportunity to have our say in this Deocratic process. I have participated in orgs before where teh athlete could say all they want, but they were not going to get a say. Definitely the way business should be conducted in my opinion. Thanks guys

I enjoyed Mr Wagman’s article. I do agree about having to consider the type of sleeve. The two types I have used offered no spring (such as a knee wrap), but I suppose there could be some that do.

Thom, I certainly hope this isnt devisive. I hope no one has taken offense to anything I have said, or has taken it as bullying. I just enjoy the discussion, and occasionally playing devil’s advocate. I like to to think about some of these things, and in turn get others to think. I dont see anything wrong with that.
