The strongest men and women met at City Park on Saturday (May 14) for the first annual Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 Strongest weightlifting competition.

Participants in the events were vying for positions to go to the B.C. provincial qualifiers that take place later this year.

In the first challenge, the log lift, men and women stood up front and centre in front of a crowd of a couple hundred people. Competitors had three chances to properly lift an attainable weight for them over their head.

While there were no provincial records broken in the log lift, the largest lift was 280 pounds.

280!
