In Response To: Re: 2006 Masters Worlds Results (Regina Hackney)

"It was kind of sad while we had 53 USA lifters in Killeen this past week lifting their butts off, working for those medals, there was very little on the forums about them."

Sorry Regina. I was working at a meet on Saturday and then training and watching my Raiders get abused on Sunday. I'll try to do better next year.

"No getting behind them, cheering them on at the first IPF MASTERS' FULL POWER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ever held in the US. Very little backing of these 53 members who went by the rules but all of the flap was about one who didn't."

How sad. As a master lifter myself, I didn't even know it was this weekend until yesterday. Between my kids soccer games, family stuff, training/rehabbing and helping out with California PL stuff, I don't really know when most meets are unless my parters are lifting in them.

" The USAPL masters' lifter have always won the overall team gold but this year, we won all 5 divisions.

Wow. That's very nice. All 5 golds at Masters.

" There have been some congratulations to a few on the lifters but this was a US TEAM effort with lifters, coaches, helplers and families who made this all possible. They should be the ones the talk is all about, not someone who knew the rules and broke them."

Regina, with all due respect to the coaches, helpers, families and lifters at the Master's Worlds and their wonderful showing, some of us think that a lifter who took the time to contact the IPF President to ask what to do to avoid a suspension and was told he "should be ok to lift" and then got suspended anyway is something worth talking about.

Also, I apologize for omitting you in my obviously "too little, too late" congratulations posting of the results.
