On Friday we had a hurry day because there was four Finns lifting. I promised to help Jussi. It was nice to be so excited for the guys! And they managed well. Jussi were 3rd place in deadlift! Miika´s competition was similar with mine – no lift in squat.

Guy´s competition under 23 years old in 93 kilos was very great. Like I was thinking Ukrainian team was very powerful. Winner did 975 kilos and made senior European records and junior World records. Name of the lifter was Sergii Bilyi and I  might have some clips from his competition. But I will add them later. Of course I wanted a picture with best junior lifter!


On Saturday was time for weight category under 105 kilos. Our own Teemu was lifting there and he competed well! Teemu was 2nd and made a new world record in deadlift. It was awesome competition because first Teemu lifted 320,5 and then Russian made a new WR (321kg). Teemu´s last attemp 321,5 succeed so Teemu kept his record!



In Junior -105kg Semenenko squated new World Record too. He also tried 410kg but got 2 red lights. In my opinion it was deeper than 400,5…




Jari has taken all banquet pics so I need to add them later. There are some random pics from the venue in the end.

We left on Monday morning 4am and now we are in Toronto! About this city I will tell more tomorrow because now I need to go to shower and eat something. This traveling is hard you know ;)









ps. my last squat

    Puerto Rico´s World Championships will start tomorrow. I have sometimes found myself missing powerlifting. I have had a lot of goals and I have trained a lot to be the strongest lifter and now I need to watch the competition at home :(. It was a surprise to me how easy my decision was. I…

    I have been the whole weekend at Vierumäki because I am keeping together with Saija and Kimmo a weiglifting advisor course.

  • Last days in Pilsen

    I haven’t got time to write – sorry about that… Johanna Kankus was lifting on Thursday. Her competition wasn’t so successful and unfortunately she missed in the bench. In conclusion, the result of our team of female lifters was pretty crappy because normally Team Finland has been the second or third best team. Me and…
