Chris Morgan takes new title at British single-lift event

The Federation of Gay Games extends its congratulations to Chris Morgan, the current Gay Games Powerlifting champion, who has won the ‘Best Lifter’ award at the British Deadlift Championships.

He was lifting in the British ‘Drug Free’ single lift championships, held in Horncastle in England where he made lifts of 210 kilos, 240 kilos, and 260 kilos to clinch the British Open title in the 82.5 kilo class. Chris also won the overall ‘best lifter’ in proportion to body weight.

Speaking about the competition, Chris said, ‘I’m really pleased to have set a new lifetime best on the way to winning the overall best lifter title at this year’s British Championship. This competition forms part of my preparations for the forthcoming defence of my world title in Russia at the end of next month. I’m realistic that the trip to Moscow will be the toughest test of my whole career to date, however this result gives me encouragement and incentive to improve again over the coming weeks’.

Chris continued, ‘This year promises an exciting competition schedule with the World Championships in Moscow in April, the Gay Games in Cologne in August and the European Championships in Malta in October all set to inspire me to new heights as I strive to improve my own personal best. It’s a huge honour to once again be representing England in International competition and also to continue my role with The Federation of Gay Games as one of their Global Ambassadors’
