Snatch Sprint Competition

I am pleased to announce that with the help of Jason at Wolverson Fitness I will be hosting first EGSA Long Cycle competition in England. This is an open competition and we welcome all abilities, we hope this will encourage people to compete in kettlebell sport for the first time and take open the sport up to a wider audience in the UK. 

Location:
It will be held at the Wolverson Fitness gym.

COMPETITION LIFTS OUTLINED
LONG CYCLE: 10 mins
In the long cycle, the lifter cleans two bells to the rack position (one bell for women), jerks them to a locked out position overhead (this must be fixed before rep is counted), drops them to the rack, and then cleans them again prior to the next repetition.
The lifter has ten minutes to complete as many repetitions as possible in each individual lift. The one major rule is that the lifter may not set the kettlebells down or the set is considered complete. The lifter may rest with the bell locked out overhead and in the rack position.
In the instance of women competitors (who will use one bell) the lifter is allowed to switch hands once. 

Men may compete with 12-Kg, 16-Kg, 20-Kg, 24-Kg, 28-Kg, and 32-Kg kettlebells, depending on their level of sport mastery.

SNATCH: 3 mins

The snatch involves swinging a kettlebell between the legs and explosively lifting it to a fixed and locked out position overhead (this must be fixed before rep is counted, legs must be straight), all in one movement. After fixating the bell, the lifter lowers the kettlebell in a swinging motion back between the legs and performs the next repetition. Because this is a one armed lift, the lifter must switch hands one time and complete snatches on the other hand as well.

The sprint snatch is a speed event and separate from the Long – Cycle competition.

WINNERS:
At EGSA it is all about Coefficient
(LC numbers x weight of the Kettlebellsx2) / BW

e.g
78reps x 56 (2x28kg bells) / 85kg = 51.4
