2009 World Weightlifting Championships – Update 3
The opening ceremony of the 2009 World Weightlifting Championships in Korea was spectacular. Korea spent no expense with break dancers, Opera, comtemporary, and pop singers entertaining the crowd for a little under two hours. There was a little over two thousand people in attendance many of which were officials, sponsors, and general fans. The competition committee made everyone know of the their Olympic Gold Medalist Jang, Mi Ran (75+ kilo lifer). She is a national hero and is expected to easily win her weight class in this tournament. Especially considering her biggest rival Mu Shushang from China is not competing. It is still bitterly cold here and now I remember why I moved from New Jersey to Arizona. I hate the cold. Take care till tomorrow.
