The event involves girls scouts and their families from across the country, several thousands strong. They will walk over the golden gate bridge from the northern side, and earn their patches in some ceremony, and celebrate a bit, at Crissy Field.

🏋🏾♀️💪🏽WATCH OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING💥🏋🏽♀️
CrossFit Potrero Hill, 175 De Haro St, San Francisco, CA 94107, San Francisco, CA, USHey friends! I'd like to invite you to come with me to watch my 🏋🏾♀️ PERSONAL FAVORITE SPORT 🏋🏾♀️ and the sport in which I also train and compete in: 💥Olympic Weightlifting!💥
This is the 1st Olympic weightlifting meet being held in San Francisco since 2019, and my dear friend Brigitte is directing it so I know it will be meticulously run!
I am SO excited for this meet and had planned on competing and qualifying for the American Open (base level of nationals for USA Weightlifting). Unfortunately my wrist sprain has not healed enough for me to lift, and I had to withdraw.
BUT! I will still be helping out most of the day (probably not the early morning sessions), so you will still see me floating around, helping coach, and even refereeing Session 5!
If you have ever been interested in watching or trying out a new sport, this is a great one to start with. Come hang out, enjoy some protein bowls (veggie option friendly) and coffee, and watch some strong ass lifters make snatch and clean & jerk attempts!
Spectators are $10 at the door, you can also contact them if you would like to volunteer and get free entry.
🏋️♀️ WHAT IS OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING?
Olympic weightlifting is composed of 2 movements: Snatch and Clean & Jerk. It is a type of lifting, and does not mean that everyone who does it goes to the Olympics—but it sure sounds like it, so I get the confusion!For competitions, each lifter gets 3 attempts each at the snatch and clean & jerk. The heaviest attempt for each lift will be recorded, and then the lifter gets a total. Rankings are based on weight class, gender, and age group.
🐶 CAN I BRING MY DOG?
Yes! You have to sign a waiver at the front, and your dog cannot enter the warmup area.🙈 WHAT SHOULD I KNOW AS A SPECTATOR?
🚷 Please avoid walking in front of the competing lifter if they are about to start lifting! It is considered rude and very distracting as the lifter needs to look at a set focal point. If you need to move, please wait until after the lift!🎉 Cheering is encouraged! Everyone is usually quiet during the actual lift attempt, but aside from that please feel free to be vocal with your support!
🚦 Lifters need 3 white lights for the lift to be considered a "good lift." The 3 lights come from the referees, who give a thumbs up or thumbs down. There are various technical rules that you can look up as to what counts and what doesn't. Sometimes a lifter may complete a lift, but the referees may mark that it does not count, and it results in a "no lift." You can cheer them on anyway! Lifting is hard.
If you have any other questions, drop them in the comments!
