Ben Watson, from St Birinus, warmed up for the Olympic test event in London on December 11/12 when he lifted for GB in the 105kg body weight group at the World Senior Championships in Paris.
Watson, who is a member of the GB Olympic team based in Leeds, lifted 140 kg in the snatch lift and 160kg in the clean & jerk lift – a pb.
That gave the full-time lifter, who is targeting the London 2012 games, a total of 300kg (pb).
The result saw him finish 30th out of a total of 34 entries.
