Kettlebell Competition Unites Junior, Men, and Women Lifters

July 23, 2019

North-East Open Kettlebell Competition

Organizer and coach Ste Gordon helped create the North-East Open, a competition that saw dozens of lifters participate in various kettlebell events this past Saturday. Held at Darlington College, such events included Jerks, Snatches, Longcycle, and even a relay. While there was a decent turnout of men and women competitors, it was the more than 10 juniors participating that really made an impression.

Speaking with The Northern Echo, Mr. Gordon mentioned how important it was to encourage the local youth to participate in kettlebell exercising. It’s a refreshing change from the obsession of Fortnite and other games that kids favor over physical activities these days.

Photos and Videos from the Competition

If you’re wondering about the results from the competition, they’re available here. After viewing these photos, I have to say, the team that put this together did a great job. Compared to last year’s Kettlebell Sport World Championship in Latvia, the stage and set up in Darlington was very well done. It’s an especially nice touch seeing the country flags of the participants.

Hopefully more kettlebell competitions like this will start popping up around the world. There is a definite emphasis of support and encouragement with the mindset of pushing oneself to be at their best. Who says you can’t be competitive and have fun at the same time? Perhaps one day I’ll be fortunate to have enough interest in my area for kettlebell sport. I imagine it’s quite the experience lifting with others and challenging your body to its limits!

    Given as a Christmas gift, my 25 lb. e-coat kettle Given as a Christmas gift, my 25 lb. e-coat kettlebell from Rogue Fitness pairs very well with an older 25 lb. cast iron kettlebell I've had for a couple of years. I've been curious for months about the hype surrounding e-coating. Is it better than powder coating? What's the difference anyway? I answer those questions and gave my honest opinion from one of the most popular products by @roguefitness⁣
