Welcome to the 2005 IPF Men's World Powerlifting Championships Website!
Dear athletes, coaches, administrators, fans, and friends:
Greetings to you each! On behalf of the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) and USA Powerlifting (USAPL), I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to the official championship web-page for the 35th annual IPF World Powerlifting Championships that will take place on November 8-13, 2005, in beautiful Miami, Florida (USA).
This year's championship will be, without question, the largest ever in the 35 year history of the sport. And, will mark for the first time in 21 years that the World Championships has been hosted in the United States of America - the birthplace and home of powerlifting!
Unique to this championship, we shall host the 10th IPF Men's & Women's Pan-American Powerlifting Championships. Overall, it is expected that some 250 athletes from nearly 50 countries will attend this year's championships. Given this, if you are a true powerlifting fan - you will not miss this show. Come and support the America's team as the very best powerlifters from around the world travel to our shores to be crowned World Champion!
On another important note, the contest hotel will be the Miami Hyatt Regency Hotel, located in downtown Miami. The contest venue will be the James L. Knight Convention Center. The James L. Knight Convention Center and the Hyatt Hotel are [connected] with both locations just eight (8) miles from the Miami International Airport.
On a final note, I would like to thank each one our sponsors for their contributions to the event - most notably the Miami Sports Commission for their most generous support. It goes without saying that this year's event would not have been possible, if were not for their kind and giving support.
To close, if I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at: rhk@verizon.net or at: 954.384.4472.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing each and everyone there!
Kind and sincere regards,
Robert Keller
Contest Director
