Best wishes to forum member Hawkpeter and his athlete Jackson Roberts-Young attempting to qualify in the M109 slot for Australia this weekend.

Many thanks.

Lets hope all the events go off without a hitch - already I understand there have been some difficulties.

Coming back to this, the Commonwealth Games qualification is all wrapped up. We could perhaps use this as the Comm Games thread if thread name changes are enabled? It's been a long time since I've used a VBulletin forum and I mostly used them as a 12 year old so my memory fails me.

Recently we had the Online Oceania Commonwealth Games invitational, where notably Don Opeloge hit a comfortable 167+208, missing 215. Eileen Cikamatana hit 110+140 which is lower by her standards but is healthier and recovering well from her leg injury.

In two weeks, we will have the Pacific Mini Games (acting as Oceania Senior Championships) between 2022-06-18 to 2022-06-22, hosted in Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. We'll see what shape various lifters are in, good or bad. I'll update this post with the start list when it comes out.

Anyway, about 8 weeks out from Commonwealth Games at the time of writing.

This doesn't deserve it's own thread, but the Pacific Mini Games will run from the 20th-23rd of June 2022. This will act as Oceania Senior Championships. It will be interesting to see what shape lifters are in so close to the games.
