FloElite is excited to announce that it will be streaming the 2015 Arnold Weightlifting Championships LIVE from Columbus, OH on March 5th-8th

Considered the nation's premier weightlifting competition, the Arnold Weightlifting Championships serves as a Pan Am qualifier and allows lifters in six different age divisions the ability to compete against their peers: Youth (17 – Under), Junior (18-20), Senior (open), Master (35+) lifters, and two special divisions Functional Fitness and Adaptive Athlete.

The Arnold, now in its 13th year, annually boasts a competition field consisting of lifters from around the world; as the event continues to grow in competition size and clout, so does the push for extended media coverage of the event.

"We are constantly striving to make our event bigger and better," said event director Jim Lorimer. "And with Flocasts at the helm of the webcast, we are excited to see the great results next weekend."

Head coach and president of the Columbus Weightlifting Club (the site where the Arnold Weightlifting Championships is held year after year) Mark Cannella is especially excited about FloElite's, "highlighting the Arnold Weightlifting Championships' USAW Pan-Am Trials on Saturday the 7th of March."

Notable athletes competing at this year's event include: Colin Burns and Jared Fleming who will battle head-to-head vs Olympians and national champions Nordik Vardanian and Kendrick Farris.  Farris took 2nd at last year's Arnold to Polish Olympian, Krzysztof Zwarycz.  Notable teams/clubs competing include: Team MDUSA, Hassle Free BBC and East Valley Crossfit.
