For the past several years, Steel Ballet has been on hand, helping to spot Special Olympics Athletes as they perform their lifts. Armed with a thorough knowledge of safe lifting techniques, Steel Ballet helps to spot the Athletes, insuring lifts are performed safely and properly. Special Olympics Powerlifting Athletes compete in a variety of lifts including clean and jerk, bench press, squat, and deadlift. These Men and Women Athletes train vigorously for several competitions throughout the year.
Athletes compete in an effort to challenge themselves and their fellow competitors.
A Special Olympics Powerlifting Competition hosted by Steel Ballet will take place at the Main Event Fitness Gym in Marietta, Georgia in the Fall of 2001. E-mail the Web site for more details or contact Special Olympics Georgia for more information and directions.
