Wayne Washington's First International Competition 1984 Nassau Community College

Although I was favored to win this competition, I lost my chance at gold because of my lack of experience and focus. As Nassau's representative my loss put me in a depression, but it was only after rededicating my life and my weightlifting to God that I rebounded and 9 years later took the gold medal in England 1993 benching 285 pounds in their lightweight event weighing in at 112 pounds.
