The Island could be about to add Powerlifting to the list of sports we excel at.
A team of six men and six women will head to Belfast next month to take part in a Home Nations Powerlifting event.
The teams ages range from 14 to 40+ with only two of our competitors having represented the Island before at the Commonwealths in New Zealand last year.
The event will be held at the Corr’s Corner Hotel on November 4th, with our team up against competition from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Meet our FIRST EVER Manx powerlifting team to represent the Isle of Man at the Home Nations! We have 12 incredible competitors who will be making their way to Belfast on 4th November to compete with England, Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales! Only 2 of our competitors have represented the Isle of Man previously so this is a very exciting time for all! With just over 2 weeks to go, the 2023 Home Nations is sure to be an amazing day! Let's go Team IOM! 🇮🇲💪
