________________
* My comment: A member of the Finnish Kettlebell Association pointed out that that association is not involved in the arrangement (see below).
Snatches: here, I am annoyed with myself. In training, I have made over sixty snatches several times. With my recent jerk training with 24kgs, as well as heavy swings, in combination with the fact that 20/25 snatches per arm has felt easy in training − I thought that I would cash in a snatch number of at least 60 reps.
