Fred Smith European Masters Bench Press Silver

Fred Smith, masters 3, 68 years old, silver European Masters bench press, 22nd Nov 2007, Zlin, Czech Republic

good lifting by fred !

videoing was so-so

Awesome stuff. Well done fred.

Cheeky t**t

Good going! Didn't realise the handsome one was 68. Makes it even more impressive.

Freds third lift was failed for

3. (yellow)
Heaving, or sinking the bar after it has been motionless on the chest, in such a way as to aid the lifter.

By the two side refs??

what did the guy who won lift ?

147.5

Just watched that three times. Very harsh that.

I agree Martin, the second looked more of a heave/sinking than the third. The ref at the far side was French and failed all of Freds lifts!!

Very very harsh decision.

Great benching, third one looked like a lovely bench press to me pity referees can get caught up in silly technicalities - but the rules are the rules I guess!!

The videoing was high. Can the cameraman not make depth or something?

his videoing seems fine at adlington, must be when judges are present , bottle goes........

harsh, harsh, harsh...

Great lifting from The Legendary Fred!
