The culmination of months of dedicated training reached its zenith in Seoul, Korea at the 2017 IUKL World Kettlebell Championships. We had a stacked roster of lifters, with those whom made the journey listed below:
MEN: Solomon Macys - Bronze, Men's Amateur Longcycle Slava Petlitsa - Bronze, Men's Professional Longcycle / Silver, Men's Veteran (45-49) Longcycle Mike Read - 5th, Men's Amateur Longcycle / Gold, Men's Veteran (55-59) Longcycle Todd Schweb - Silver, Men's Amateur Biathlon / Bronze, Men's Veteran (40-44) Biathlon Bradley Talbot - 6th, Men's Amateur Longcycle / 7th, Men's Veteran (40-44) Longcycle WOMEN: Taylor Carle - 4th, Women's Amateur OALC Heather Kilius - Silver, Women's Professional OALC / Silver, Women's Amateur Snatch Rhonda Kuiper - 11th, Women's Amateur Longcycle Trial Holli Mack - Bronze, Women's Amateur OALC Renee Martynuik - Bronze, Women's Professional Snatch / Gold, Women's Veteran (40-44) Snatch Lisa Pitel-Killah - 4th, Women's Amateur Snatch / Gold, Women's Veteran (40-44) Snatch Rachel Robertson - Gold, Women's Professional OALC / Gold, Women's Amateur Snatch Corissa Sivorot - Gold, Women's Amateur Longcycle Trial / 4th, Women's Amateur Snatch Pamela Wheat - 5th, Women's Amateur Snatch / Gold, Women's Veteran (50-54) Snatch Jean Whitney - 6th, Women's Amateur OALC / Bronze, Women's Veteran (55-59) OALC / 9th, Women's Amateur Snatch / Bronze, Women's Veteran (55-59) Snatch Men's Veteran Relay Roster: Slava Petlitsa Mike Read Todd Schweb Bradley Talbot Chris Guyll Out of 35 countries, Canada placed an impressive 7th place with 92 total points, as well as 5th place in the Veteran's category with 164 points. The team amassed a total of 19 medals and one 2nd Place trophy for Men's Veteran Longcycle Relay. The relay was a last minute decision, and I would personally like to thank Chris Guyll of Team England for stepping in to round out the relay roster. Relays are an opportunity to have fun while rubbing shoulders with the humble and inspirational representatives of the international kettlebell community. Way to go Team Canada, you've made a lasting impression on the kettlebell world. Hugs and Kisses, Coach Solly ;)
