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 ;)
