IPF Worlds 2016
As someone who has competed in powerlifting competitions in multiple other federations, I have never seen such scrawny and unprepared spotters in any other meet - especially one that is supposed to be a World Championship event. One of the spotters looks to be a teenager weighing 130 pounds at best! I know that accidents happen and all, but this looks to me to be a shocking lack of disregard for the safety of the lifters - especially from the federation that charges large fees to check and approve equipment in the name of "safety." Apparently the spotters were all unpaid volunteers - how fucking cheap can the IPF be? And instead of apologizing, they are deleting references to it on their social media and banning anyone who tries to bring it up. I think even non lifters could watch this video and be appalled.
