Sarah Robles was chosen by the London Olympic Committee and the International Weightlifting Federation to be the sole US representative at the weightlifting Olympic Test Event. There are two classes for women lifting and two for men. Only 12 people per weight class (48 total) from across the world were invited to compete at this Test Event. Robles is a 3X National Champion and 3X World Team Member.The event will take place December 10th and 11th in London, England. The USAW (USA Weightlifting) does not cover airfare to this event, so Robles is leveraging Web 2.0 technologies as a means for fundraising. Ways to donate to her cause have been published on the Performance One Advanced Sports Training Facebook page and website, and a buzz has been created on various sports blogs.
Robles is an accomplished athlete and has looked to different mediums to hopefully raise enough cash to compete in London. If interested, people can help 3 different ways: donate to her cause directly through PayPal via the Performance One webpage, purchase an Arizona Strong t-shirt, or attend an Olympic Weightlifting seminar.
