World Weightlifting Championships

On October 16-27, 2013 the World Weightlifting Championships were held in the beautiful city of Wroclaw, Poland. Dr. Merepeza was accredited with the Canadian National Team. The team consisted of four male and three female lifters and four coaches. The team did well and one female lifter, Dr. Marie-Eve Beauchemin-Nadeau form Quebec took sixth place. It was a very exciting competition and Dr. Beauchemin-Nadeau made a technical error that cost her the 5th place. She is a talented lifter and will certainly improve her ranking in future competitions.
