Weightlifting 26-29 Jul 2026

Applied for Weightlifting tickets on a whim, having never really watched the sport before, but was genuinely blown-away by what an amazing time I had. The hall was bouncing from the very beginning, and the athletes themselves (we saw Women's +87kg) were so likeable and interacted with the crowd so readily!

It was amazing to see the weightlifters pushing themselves to the limit - when they stepped onto the stage you could hear a pin drop, but the hall erupted in celebration after every successful lift.

Emily Campbell of England got the best reception - and produced a flawless gold medal performance! As a bonus, Kelly Holmes was in the hall getting the crowd going. Great day, really well organised, and incredibly entertaining - would go again in a heartbeat.
