World Olympic Weightlifting Championships in Paris, Nov. 6th, 2011

Here I was attending my first Olympic Weightlifting competition, what a place to have it all begin; the Worlds Championships. When MJ (my sister) and Paul Dumais (also competing at these championships) asked me join them, I thought sure, an activity all together; I'm in, what I did not realize was how captivating, entertaining and animating the athletes were going to be. I literally had goose bumps a few times watching them tap into all their might for a very few moments in time. You hear about how cool the "football" dance is after a touch down, well let me tell ya this is that times more. They stomp their feet after failing at lifting the bar, they yell, make unimaginable facial expressions before and during the lift, they have stare down looks where their focus is as strong as their physical strength. This is but a glimpse into this. A small fraction of the action.

I know Manuel and his coach Paul Coffa. Manuel has medaled in the Jerk a couple of times at worlds some years back. He is still lifting well despite getting older.
