At this time I don't have any further information. Although, no additional lifters were officially reported to have committed to the meet.

There were 10 lifters total. Someone told me that Mark Bell got an 804, but I don't know for sure.

That was the invite list. There were only 6 or 7 lifters in the meet and I believe 3 attempts made.

So is it Mendelson's meet that sucks, or what? With that much money and at a good event you would think you could get some top lifters, other than the ones that showed. That's pretty bad.

No lifters like Scot. And after screwing the middleweights the lifters got together and decided not to lift to back Rob and Richie who were getting screwed.

The Russian guy was I think Ilya Kokorev. He wasn't on the original invite list.

why should he put up $5000 for 2 lifters in a weight class?

like him or not, he pays!
