Rita,
Jason phoned yesterday to inform me that he received the European Silver
medal in his powerlifting weight group. He weighed in at 67 kl (147.4
pounds) and lifted 165 kl (363 pounds). He was quite upset about this
because he has been lifting 170 in the gym, but couldn't on the competition
day and the gold was a 170 lift.
There are a range of different disabled people who went to the European
competition and I will be very interested to see how they got along
accessibility wise. I know most of the people on the team and I'm sure they
got very adventurous once their lifting day was over and decided to go out on
the town.
Jason should be in Monday night if the flights and trains are not delayed or
Tuesday morning if he stays with his friend Russell in Cardiff Monday night.
Oh, Thanks for the information.
Judith
