Snatch & IKSFA rank table

Snatch 12,20,24kg: 5/5 each
Snatch 24kg: 47/48

Snatch 12kg: ca four sets of 10/10 to work with some technical stuff

Today was a physically hard day moving offices at work. So after that good gpp I went for just a few snatches as spp.

IKSFA rank table
The IKSFA camp is over and seems to have been a great success.

One nice thing was that IKSFA released a ranking table for Scandinavia. The levels are in about like in the Russian table, but with the notable exception that gentlemen can rank also with 20kg in a 20kg-category. That is smart, the Russian table is simply too demanding for Sweden right now. So it is better to settle for more realistic levels. After all, the ranking table is to be a tool when organizing competitions, not to show off (not primarily anyhow :-). Ok, if you live in Russia, a Master of Sport title is also of help when applying for a job position as a coach, but we are not there yet. Maybe, in the future.

Another nice thing is that you can rank with 24kgs for CMS in lc. The Russian system admitted that in the past, and the 24kg CMS was almost reinstated last year.

You find the table in the column at the right here as well as at Spartan's web site.

Okay it might be the google translation but one of the lines that you wrote reads:

"One nice thing was That IKSFA released a ranking table for Canada."

I presume that is meant of men Scandinavia?

Dear B, the blog post is written in English so you don't have to translate it :-)!

Ahh coolio. I usually have the google translator on when I read you blog so I think it's playing tricks on me.

It had me very confused to why it said Canada...
