I have been active in Crossfit for a little over 10 years. Crossfit led to Oly lifting competitions. I competed in the Games for 6 straight years from 2012-2017, all in the 60+ division. The competition got too good-I qualified for the AGQ from 2018-2020, but was not in the top 10-20. Thankfully, the 65+ group was added last year. I qualified for another Games appearance in 2021 and finished 6th in Madison. I’m now 70. With only 10 spots open my Games days may be over but I’m ready for the 2022 Open.
