Kettlebell athletes from across the country and the U.S. will be coming to Langford next month to compete in the Canadian Kettlebell Sport Nationals.
The sport rose in popularity during the pandemic, when retailers couldn't keep up with demand for the equipment.
The sport doesn't get any simpler, you only have one piece of equipment. It's an awkward, iron, cannonball-looking thing with a handle. During competitions, athletes take to the stage and try to complete as many reps as possible in a 10 minute set.Corissa Sivorot's gym in Victoria is full of them."Then, years later, I found out there's a sport to compete in."
Now, Sivorot competes all over the world, and she coaches. She was also a gold medalist at the 2017 kettlebell world championships in Seoul, Korea. Mike Read is another local kettlebell expert. He has represented Canada at several world championships and has taken home a gold and a silver medal at two events."Could look like you, could look like me," he said. "There's no particular body type to lift kettlebells.""The bell is telling you, 'this is starting to get really tiring,' and your mind is listening to the bell.
