My wife Bernie took First Place Gold at the Arnold Classic in the 60 kilo (132 lb)(RAW) weight class.
That is numerous local competitions, 3 Full Meet Nationals (St Louis, Virginia and Colorado) and 1 Bench Nationals (Cleveland)...and NOW First Place Gold at the Arnold......ALL FIRST PLACE. She has NEVER...repeat...NEVER come in 2nd place or lower. She also holds Ohio State, American and National Records...and remember...she is 52 years old.
After she lifted in the morning session, she jumped right back in as a loader on the platform for the entire afternoon session of the heavyweight lifiting.
Then Saturday, she suited up in her offical suit and tie, and she assisted at the scoring table from 7:00 am until 7:00 pm.
Sunday morning...we set up on the main stage in the EXPO for the Bench Challenge where lifters were there from all over the World. Then we loaded up all the equipment and headed back to Cleveland this afternoon.
Now we rest and prepare for Denver again in July for a repeat National performance.
The Arnold was great overall. Great lifitng. Got to meet all the big dawgs....Dorian Yates, Ronnie, Jay, etc....along with Arnold himself, Sylvester Stallone...and an aray of talented elite competitors.
I am so proud...it is beyond words. They never saw her coming;)
