The Championships served as a major qualifier tournament for British Nation weightlifters seeking to participate in the Commonwealth Games, which will be held in Birmingham in July 2022. The Championships were also used to qualify the Malta weightlifting team.
Ashley Metcalfe, CEO of British Weight Lifting commented “As a Commonwealth qualifier, the British Championships was an important event and following a fantastic year for the sport, a true celebration. We were delighted to see so many lifters on the two platforms as well as a record number of spectators turning out to cheer on lifters. Derby arena provided a great venue for our return to the British Championships. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank our partners for supporting the event”.
