  • Zoe Smith: Second Olympics for Commonwealth Champion
    Zoe Smith: Second Olympics for Commonwealth Champion Zoe Smith is one of the most successful and well-known weightlifters in the county having medalled multiple times at the European Championships and Commonwealth Games, winning gold outright at the 2014 Commonwealth. She forms part of a group of three weightlifters selected to represent Team GB at Tokyo 2020 and is set to compete in the Women’s 59kg category. Born in London, Smith started her sporting journey at Europa Gymnastics Club where she was talent spotted by the affiliate weightlifting club of the same name who were recruiting new members to compete at the London Youth Games Smith gave it a go and showed immediate promise from the outset. She developed her skills training under Europa Weightlifting Head Coach Andrew Callard, a former Commonwealth Champion and 1992 Barcelona Olympian. Smith’s talent saw her selected in national youth squads and she won gold for England at the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games held in Pune, India. That performance contributed to her winning the British Olympic Association Athlete of the Year for Weightlifting. In 2010 she became the first English woman to medal in Weightlifting at the Commonwealth Games at the age of 16 in Delhi and was nominated for the BBC’s Young Sports Personality of the Year Award. Her amazing rise through the ranks continued two years later as Smith was selected to represent Great Britain on home soil at London 2012 where she finished tenth setting a new British Clean & Jerk record before going on to win Commonwealth gold at Glasgow 2014.

  • British Weight Lifting COVID-19 Guide for Clubs: Considerations to Make Before Returning to Training (V3)
    British Weight Lifting COVID-19 Guide for Clubs: considerations to make before returning to training (V3) Updated 13 April 2021 This document includes: 1) Priority Actions 2) Facility Guidance 3) Health, Safety and Hygiene 4) Training Guidance Introduction Following the full closure of the sector due to COVID-19, the role of this document is to provide guidance and best practice for British Weight Lifting Clubs to allow them to get back to training, while ensuring the safety and well-being of anyone that enters your facility is considered. This document sets out the framework for opening clubs during an ongoing period of "social distancing”. It also provides the basis for clubs to develop their own required risk mitigation guidance for members, staff and visitors now the Government has advised that facilities, or parts of facilities, can open. The framework has been developed by British Weight Lifting by gaining advice and best practice from the Government, UK Sport, Sport England, UK Active and the wider sport and fitness sector, who are at different stages of managing COVID-19. The gym and fitness industry play a vital role in ensuring the ongoing health and wellbeing of the nation following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. We believe this role has never been more important than at this current time in helping society regain its health. However, we must ensure that minimum standards are set to prevent the spread of COVID-19 any further. A club can make their own decisions and can go above the standards set within this document, but not lower.
