The Asian Championships this year will be held in Ningbo, China from 18th to 28th of April – with lifting to begin on the 20th.
It is an IWF gold level event, so we can expect many of the top Asian lifters to attend. They will try to improve their totals and hence ROBI points in order to qualify for Tokyo 2020. There were around 270 entries before verification.
Gregor will be on location to provide updates, training hall footage and very likely world record lifts! This is only possible thanks to continued ATG reader support!
