Battle for the Pacific - Oceania Champs (04/01/13)

145 lifters from 7 nations across the Oceania region descended upon North Sydney for the Oceania Powerlifting and Bench Press Champs from 7-9 December. This was a competition reduced to a raw only format, but nonetheless it was an amazing 3 day event and certainly one of the best the Oceania region has seen for a while.

With a plethora of National, Oceania, Commonwealth and World Records broken being too many to name, one of note was the open deadlift World Record by Nghiep Luu who pulled 271kg under 66kg bodyweight. This is the first time an open World Record has been set by an Oceania lifter since Katrina Robertson's miracle 263.5kg deadlift to win the 1997 World Champs.

At the end of it all Australia ended up being the top lifting nation, Stephen Pritchard of Australia was overall best lifter on points despite being downed by the mammoth Samoan, Oliva Kirisome, whilst Mary Macken of Australia took out best female lifter by a fair margin. For the bench pressers, Aussie Jasmine Higgs took out the best female award and the wider than ever Paul Offord of Australia once again hoisted up the biggest bench of the comp with a very impressive 235kg press.

Oceania Report 2011/12

Dear Oceania Nations,

Below is the OPF report of our state of play up until this point in time and into the near future.

[ Oceania Report 2011/12 ]

 

2012 Oceania Powerlifting Championships

Dear Oceania Nations,

At last, we have the details for the 2012 Oceania Championships.

All is set for Sydney, meetings December 6th and lifting Friday — Sunday December 7— 9th.

This meet will be Raw only, Powerlifting and Bench Press, Open, SubJunior and Masters. Medals will be awarded for each individual lift plus total in the Open section, for Total only in Juniors and Masters.

The decision to conduct Raw only in this event followed some administrative limitations on the event in this venue, but also the success of the Pacific Games in 2011 and the certain growth of Raw through to the 2015 Games.

Entries close 30 days prior to the Oceanias but we urge you to get your nation’s entry in as soon as possible.

Feel free to contact myself or the Meet Director David Cheung cheung_david@hotmail.com for any further information.

[ Invitation ]

Best Wishes,

Robert Wilks
OPF President
