HK Olympic Weightlifting Coach Visits WIS Developing Athletes

The WIS ‘Developing Athletes’ Programme was treated to another informative session this Monday with a visit from the highly qualified coach and representaive of Hong Kong Olympic Weightlifting, Anton Jefferson.

The athletes were run through the specialised techniques and criteria the sport is centered around and the amazing athletic ability that Olympic weightlifting athletes possess, such as, flexibility, finesse, strength and explosive power.

The WIS athletes then put their theory into practice where they were coached through the three basic stages of technique to perform a successful competition “snatch” lift. The students were quickly able to appreciate the technical skill and power involved in the lifts and most were determined to improve their form.

Well done everyone!
