When is the best time to register for the World Masters Competition?

Many athletes want to wait for the Canadian championships at the end of April to register, because they want to register the best total possible.

What I understood of the rules is that it is not possible to change the total registered once this total is recorded in the system, so if I understood correctly, if I register my performance of the Provincial Masters

championships, I stay with it and I have no possibility of changing it.

 

Will all qualified participants have the opportunity to register their total after the Canadian Championships on April 27th and 28th and who will be responsible?

Athletes can

 

(a)  register using their Provincial Masters. On April 1, I will start verifying entries. Even after I verify, the athlete can still “unsubmit and forfeit verification of that entry”. “The system will then allow the athletes to modify and resubmit their entry.” So the athlete can still submit their total from the Canadian Masters Championships.  I will see it as a new entry and verify if the information is correct.

 

OR

 

(b)  hold off and only submit their Canadian Championship total entry on the weekend of the Canadian Masters Championships. The athlete is totally responsible for that on-line entry.  They should have a reliable smart phone, laptop etc and access to the internet. Hotels have internet access and computers in their lobby business area.  I will try to make access available at the venue (school). On the Monday morning right after the Championships, I will make my last verifications, so athletes must complete their entries that Sunday night.  No extensions.

 

Should the athlete not have submitted their Provincial total and encounters personal issues that prevent them from competing at the Canadians, the athlete can still submit the total from their Provincial Masters. Please refer to what is noted in the preceding paragraph.

 

I plan to compete at the Pan Am’s in Orlando in June. The online registration process through the CMWFHC site looks very straight forward. Is there any other supporting documentation or individuals/organizations I should be in contact with beyond registering online?

As far as the Pan Am, the athlete notifies me of their intent to compete (which you have done), then registers to compete (note that instead of USAW number you identify as a Canadian athlete). The Pan Am Masters organizer will then contact me for verification of your information.

Quand serait le meilleur temps pour s’inscrire pour les Championnats mondiaux 2019 ou les Championnats panaméricains 2019?

Exemple de question

Plusieurs athlètes veulent attendre pour s’inscrire à la fin d’avril pour les Championnats canadiens, parce qu’ils veulent inscrire le meilleur total possible.

Ce que j’ai compris des règlements est qu’il n’est pas possible de changer le total inscrit une fois que le total est dans le système, alors si j’ai bien compris, si je m’inscris en utilisant mon total des Championnats provinciaux Maîtres, ceci sera le total qui sera utilisé et je n’aurai pas de possibilité de le changer.

Est-ce que les participants qualifiés auront la chance d’inscrire leur total après les Championnats canadiens en avril le 27 et 28 avril et qui sera responsable?

 Les athlètes peuvent

(a)  s’inscrire en utilisant les Championnats provinciaux. Le premier avril, je vais commencer à valider les inscriptions. Même après que je vérifie, l’athlète peut encore “unsubmit and forfeit verification of that entry (retirer et déclarer forfait de la vérification de ce total)”. « Le système va alors permettre aux athlètes de modifier et resoumettre leur inscription.” Alors l’athlète pourra soumettre leur total des Championnats canadiens Maîtres.  Je vais le voir en tant que nouvelle inscription et vérifier que l’information est exacte.

OU

(b)  attendre et seulement soumettre leur total des Championnats canadiens le weekend dans Championnats canadiens Maîtres. L’athlète est totalement responsable de cette inscription en ligne. Ile devraient avoir un téléphone intelligent fiable, ordinateur portable etc et l’accès à l’internet. Les hôtels ont l’accès internet et des ordinateurs dans leur zone affaires.  Je vais essayer de rendre l’accès disponible au lieu de la compétition (école). Le lundi tout-de-suite après les Championnats, je vais faire mes dernières vérifications, alors les athlètes doivent compléter leur inscriptions ce dimanche soir.  Il n’y aura pas d’extensions.

Si l’athlète n’a pas soumis leur total provincial et a des problèmes personnels qui le préviendra de compétitionner aux Championnats canadiens, l’athlète peut tout de même soumettre leur total de leurs Championnats provinciaux Maîtres. SVP vous referrer à ce qui est indiqué dans le paragraphe précédent.

Je planifie de compétitionner aux Championnats panaméricains à Orlando en juin. Le processus d’inscription en ligne via le site de la CMWFHC semble très simple. Est-ce qu’il y a d’autres documents de support requis ou individus/organisations que je devrais contacter en plus de m’inscrire en ligne?

 En autant que les Championnats panaméricains sont concernés, l’athlète me fait part de son intention de compétitionner (ce que vous avez fait), puis s’inscrit pour compétitionner (à noter qu’au lieu de donner votre numéro de USAW vous vous identifiez en tant qu’athlète canadien). L’organisateur des Championnats panaméricains va ensuite me contacter pour vérifier votre information.

Praise and Caution

Louanges et avertissements de la part du Président de la CMWFHC

PRAISE goes out to all of our new members completing their membership registrations with the CMWFHC. You are keeping our Membership Secretary very busy, but that is a good sign of your interest in who we are and what we do at CMWFHC.  You will eventually get your membership card in your email, so I hope your email has been accurately communicated to our Membership Secretary. Hopefully you have kept a copy of your PayPal receipt.

PRAISE goes to out to all of you deciphering those instructions for the new World Masters Registration system. In the past, participating in the World Masters was synonymous with taking a vacation and getting some good lifting in as well.  The two activities went hand in hand when all that was required was meeting the Qualifying Total and sufficient money in the bank.  With the explosion of interest in Masters Weightlifting it has become more difficult to qualify for the World Masters and there is a shift away from the holiday event to a highly competitive event.

PRAISE goes out to those who have purchased some of our new athlete gear and for their patience.  I just got my own notice that my shipment is on the way. Very nice stuff!  Thanks Linda Earnshaw!!

PRAISE goes out to all of you who are keeping up with the information we have been providing on our Website and Facebook pages. Keep exploring these pages.

CAUTION goes out to those that intentionally or unconsciously fail to register as a member of their provincial weightlifting association for 2018.2019 for their qualifying meets and 2019.2020 for the World Masters. I will be working closely with Provincial Associations to ensure that your memberships are on the up and up.  If I discover such athletes after they have been invited to compete in the WM and have paid, they will have to be removed from the athlete list and no refunds will be issued.  So be forewarned.

CAUTION goes out to all members of CMWFHC to be very understanding that just because you have qualified for the WM and have registered, does not mean that you will be officially invited by the IWF-Masters to complete your registration with the required payment. I realize that many of you have purchased memberships in the hope you will be competing. So, my heart goes out to those who will not be invited, but be assured, you are still a winner to me.  You have met or surpassed the qualifying standards.  Many athletes will not be able to accomplish this level of achievement.

What a couple! What a Team! So proud to have them as members of the Canadian Masters Weightlifting Federation.

CANADIANS GRACE THE PODIUM AT THE WORLD MASTERS WEIGHTLIFTING CHAMPIONSHIPS – 2018/08/17-25

A large number of Canadian Weightlifters converged in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain for the World Masters Weightlifting Competition held between August 17 and 25 of 2018. This Event marks the pinnacle of many of these athlete’s training and preparation.  Athletes not only have to commit to securing time off to travel, but also have to meet Qualifying Totals and the approval of the Canadian National Chair in order to compete.

Our older athletes led the charge with Canadas illustrious and multiple grand champion, Marcel Perron, taking no time to capture the Gold in the M85yr/77kg Category and the Best Lifter in that age group. Judy Quinn, being no stranger to World Championship Competitions, not only took the Gold in the W70yr/75kg Category, but broke Canadian and World Records in the process.  Yves Carignan, another noteworthy athlete from Canada’s past as an Olympian, followed quickly to secure a Silver in the M65yr/62 kg Category. Ken Miller, another frequent World Masters participant took Bronze in the M70yr/62 kg Category, as did his wife, Jill Miller in the W65yr/63 kg Category.

The Canadian contingent was honoured to have one of its athletes being inducted into the World Masters Hall of Fame.  Manon Poulin entered the Masters in 1999 at the Canadian and Pan-American Masters Championship in Ontario, Canada and followed the events to the end of the year with her gold, silver and Bronze medals as well as various national and world titles, national and international records.  Manon Poulin has certainly become a weightlifting legend. At this year’s World Masters, Manon succeeded in winning a Silver in the W55yr/63kg Category.

A number of the Canadian Women were awarded Best Lifter in their age categories: Isabelle Gauthier, Gold in the W45yr/58kg with Canadian Snatch (67 kg) and Total (154 kg) Records and Abigail Guerrero-Gonzales, Gold in the W40yr/58kg with Canadian Snatch (71 kg), Clean and Jerk (80 kg) and Total (151 kg) Records. In the W40yr/+90kg Category, Karine Brouillard took the Bronze, Manon Croteau in the W50yr/58 kg Category took the Gold and Best Lifter as well as the Canadian Snatch (54 kg), Clean and Jerk (68 kg) and Total (122 kg) Records. 

Though the Men represented 11 of the Canadian group of 29 athletes, their accomplishments were quite notable. In the Male 45yr Category the 77 kg Claude Caouette took a Bronze and Eric Chevrier in the 94 kg Category secured a Silver.  Andre Dionne in the M60yr/85 kg Category also was awarded a Silver medal.

The youngest of our Canadian athletes, our Women and Men in the 35-age group, wrapped up the competition on its last day. The sessions were off to a good start with Caroline Mundell’s Bronze finish in the W35yr/58 kg Category. The Womens 35yr/75 kg Category saw Beth Kostur achieving fourth position and breaking the Canadian Snatch (73 kg) and Total (157 kg) Records.  Justin Ott in the M35yr/94 kg Category captured the Bronze Medal. In the Mens 35yr/105 kg Category, it was so close for Rafal Korkowski as he was only one kilogram short of breaking the Snatch record and indeed tied the Clean and Jerk Record to take home the Silver Medal.

Our other athletes, who may not have medalled, fared very well personally in their results: Heather Cameron, Chris Crotty, Raghbir Dhaliwal (4th), Heather Emslie, Sylvie Guenette (4th), Greg Haspect, Melanie Johnson, Paaras Kaur, Eva Martens, Tanna Payne, and Kirsten Riewe. Due to family circumstances, we were sad that Heather Admundred could not participate. We wish her all the best.

Canadians won 17 Medals:5 Gold, 6 Silver and 6 Bronze placing Canada in 8th position. Canadian Marcel Perron captured the overall best lifter, also referred to as Grand Master, with 488.48 SMM points, 75 points ahead of the next competitor. Isabelle Gauthier missed Best Womens Lifter by just 2 SMM points. Bravo Canada!! The Women’s Team of Isabelle Gauthier, Abigail Guerrero Gonzalez. Karine Brouillard, Caroline Mundell, Beth Kostur, Manon Croteau, Manon Poulin and Judy Quinn took First Place over the Americans and especially the Australians who traditionally always win these Team challenges. Our Men’s Team did a fine showing placing 6th overall, just two places behind the Americans.

On behalf of our Board of Directors of the Canadian Masters Weightlifting Federation Haltérophilie Canadienne and our members, I extend our heartfelt congratulations to all of our determined and dedicated athletes.  We hope to see them all at next years World Masters in Montréal.
