Ladies compete with 12 or 16kg.
Gentlemen compete with 16, 24, or 32kg (standard rules, two bells).

I plan on going, and probably two more Swedes. Join us! Try out the Leoko bells!
Despite the event is open for foreigners, it is also a Finnish Championship. "SM" stands for "Suomen Mestaruus." The SM is an official competition arranged by the Finnish Kettlebell Association wich is part of the Finnish Weightlifting Federation (recognized by the state). The FKA is also member and national representative of Finland before IUKL, International Union of Kettlebell Lifting.
