Kettlebell Kings recently sponsored the GSAA Australian National Kettlebell Championships at Lonedog in Albury, New South Wales and we are really excited to report about the event! Those who placed at The Championship will be representing Team Australia at The IUKL World Championships in Seoul, South Korea this year. This was the first time in event history that uniform bells were used by all the lifters and they competed with our Competition Kettlebells. We shipped quite a bit of kettlebells to Melbourne and from there they were distributed to the event location in Albury as well as to competitors who had pre-ordered them for training.

gsaa australian national kettlebell championship recap
One of the exciting things about Kettlebell Sport is how it is growing. Each event we sponsor has been setting attendance records for participants and spectators and this one was no different. 50 Athletes competed at The Championships which makes this the largest Australian Championships ever held. The crows reached up to 300 people with over 500 coming through during the day to support and watch the athletes. This was the first time that our Competition Kettlebells have been used at an event in Australia and as mentioned earlier this was the first time all of one type of kettlebell was used at The Championships.

One of our goals in supporting Kettlebell Sport has been to help events have uniform bells so that all lifters can train and use the same equipment. We believe this is important when establishing national teams, records and ensuring that properly weighted equipment is used.
Kettlebell Sport in general is growing greatly in Australia as it is around the world, 2017 has had the most competitors compete in GSAA events than in any previous year.
