I Bombed

1st time in 48 years ! unbelievable still i was in good company Scott Mendelson, Kieren Kidder , Ano Turtiainen , Dan Dvořák and Martin Kosnar all bombed to as did many others it only felt bad when i was the first to bomb lol , i got my opener all the way up but Mike Sweeny didnt like the way the bar was at a slight angle (not verticly but due to a shoulder problem it was at a slight angle according to him though it was fully locked out) looked fine on video after but thats powerlifting ! i did see far worse get three white lights which made me feel they were a bit harsh on me .
It was a huge meet with far more lifters than on the orginal roster and a lot more Americans than was expected including Scott Mendelson who just turned up and attempted a world record i think it was 1,030lb ! Scott was a real gent and spent a lot of time running around helping others out much respect to him !
Beleyaev looked like he might have joined us bombers to ! he ditched the bar twice on his first two squat attempts but got his third in .
