]]> rankingThe list of GSU ranked athletes has now been updated with results from all competitions to date.Well done to all newcomers to the list and to those who achieved a new ranking!

GSU members can apply for rank from any competition they attend (domestic or abroad) by sending in a video of their full set for review.

For those that didn’t make rank in this round – remember that GSU’s tables are based on the full IUKL ranks and so some of the toughest around!

The sport looks to be growing every year with every competition seeing plenty of new, strong athletes joining the ranks, so to speak, and current ones climbing their way up the weights and rankings.

Good luck to everyone trying for rank in future competitions!

The Welsh Open was first competition of the year and got things off to a great start! Nearly 70 entrants with many stepping up in kettlebell weight and/or trying new events, as well as a number of people new to the sport taking to the platform for their first time!

The Boat Shed in Cardiff were organised, efficient and hospitable hosts as always, hopefully be back next year! Congratulations go to all lifters on their sets, beginner or experienced lifter stepping on the platform is always an achievement! Thanks also too to everyone else, members and non-members, who helped on the day be it with judging, calculating scores & medals, moving and sorting equipment and kettlebells or even impromptu IT & technical support! And thank you too to our main sponsors Wolverson Fitness for their support!

New Masters of Sport:

A special congratulations to Anna Plumridge of Box Bell Fit Training and to Will Dollar of Brighton Girevoy Sport Club who were awarded their Master of Sports certificates from sets they did at the GSU British Championships and IUKL World Championships respectively. Both Will and Anna achieved their MS ranking in Long cycle last year, notably Reece Armstrong also achieved Master of Sport rank (Biathlon) at the IUKL World Championships and his certificate is waiting for him too! The website will be updated shortly with their rankings and also the remainder of the rankings from last year’s competitions.

Next Event:

Next event coming up is the English Open Championships in Newquay on the 11th April. All welcome, members and non-members alike. Registration will be opened this week. The hosts say you can just about see the sea from the competition venue, Cornwall in Spring should be very beautiful so what can be better than a holiday and competition rolled into one!

In the meantime full results from Cardiff are listed below:
