Incredible news for all the NI athletes,
Were incredibly privileged to have supported so many of teamni across this qualification and beyond.

You should all be extremely proud of taking a spot in the hardest and most demanding qualification process our sport has had to date for the games.

Everyone who started this journey put in the work against an ever increasing standard, and we're so very proud of everyone who gave their all in the process, and we're delighted for those of the team who ultimately got the spots for Glasgow.

A massive well done to our athletes who represented at the IPF World Bench Press Championships last weekend in Warsaw, Poland:

✨Callum Gibson , 83kg open (equipped): 7th place

✨Matthew McDonald , 83kg junior (equipped): 10th place

✨Zack Graham , 120+ junior (equipped): 8th place

Thank you to for supporting our athletes as part of the Team GB coaching team.

There are no coached classes next week (20-25 April). Adults with key code access can train at any time.
