USA Kettlebell Sport Lifting
Kettlebell Lifting is a World recognized weight lifting sport performed with one or two kettlebell weights. Athletes lift specific kettlebell weights in a repetitive fashion for a 10 minute set to achieve their maximum number of repetitions. This result is used in a computation, along with the athlete’s weight and the weight of the bell for a final total when scoring athletes in the same body weight and bell weight categories. The sport is based on 300 year old Russian training tactics and due to the intense core training it provides, is widely utilized to cross train athletes as well as those athletes in Kettlebell Sport.
The IUKL (International Union of Kettlebell Lifters) is USA Kettlebell Sport Lifting’s governing federation and has been recognized and granted by the GAISF (Global Association of International Sport Federations) their current Observer Status. This is a crucial first step towards full inclusion of Kettlebell Sport on many new platforms including the Junior, Senior, World games and ultimately into the Olympics. Getting Kettlebell Sport recognized and included in the Olympics is one of the fundamental drives for this non-profit. USKSL also strives to create a cohesive, inclusive, educational and recognizable group to advance this goal.
