2024 Georgia WSO State Championship Canceled

Dear Georgia Weightlifting Athletes and Community,

It is with deep regret that the 2024 Georgia WSO State Championships, originally scheduled for May 11th, must be cancelled. We understand this news is disappointing, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

This difficult decision was not made lightly. After careful consideration of all factors, the Georgia WSO Board determined that canceling the event was necessary due to lack of participation.

We know how much time and effort goes into preparing for a competition, and we appreciate your dedication to the sport. We are truly sorry for any disruption this cancellation may cause to your training schedule. If you are still needing to qualify for Nationals and planned on using the State Championship as that meet, we encourage you to sign up for Barbell Maynia which will be held at Peak Strength in Buford, Ga. May 4th. There are limited spots so don't wait until the last minute to sign up.

We want to assure you that the Georgia WSO Board remains firmly committed to promoting weightlifting in our state. We have already begun planning for the 2025 Georgia WSO Weightlifting State Championships. Our goal is to make it the premier weightlifting event in the Southeast, offering an exceptional experience for all athletes and attendees.

We will be sharing more details about the 2025 State Championships in the coming months. In the meantime, please stay tuned for updates on our website at https://georgiaweightlifting.com/ and our various social media pages.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Georgia Weightlifting. We look forward to seeing you at future events.

Sincerely,

The Georgia WSO Board

2024 Georgia State Championships

Chalk up! Get that thumb tape on! Chug that pre-workout drink…It’s that time of year again. It’s time for the 2024 Georgia State championships on May 11th!

This year we are having a repeat of location and holding the event at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds. This was a great space for us last year. For future Championships the event will move around so that it is convenient to everyone in the state.

Head over to BARS today and make sure you have all requirements met for a valid USAW membership. Then get signed up today!

We can’t make this event happen without the efforts of volunteers. Build up and teardown are really where we need the most help. We always can use more loaders. Don’t know how to count kilos? No problem, we can teach you and you will have fun learning too. If you are a registered referee please sign up to ref a session or two. To sign up as a volunteer go to the contact form and let us know how you want to help.

We hope to see you at the event lifting or cheering for your favorite lifter.

Your Georgia WSO State board
