Curious what a big kettlebell competition looks like? Go here and sign up for a free account - this was the backup solution to the Team USA live streaming option, apparently their first choice didn't work well with the internet in Germany:

This is the last of 3 days. 34 countries with 540 competitors. The Veteran Women's competition starts at 9am Eastern today, USA women should be on the platform around 11 or 11:30. There are 3 women who fall in the veteran age class - in their 50's :-) Have fun!
added.....
As it turned out, the live feed went down before the veteran women started today :-( The three women, however, rocked and two of them took medals home. 1 gold, one silver. They were competing with the 24KG kettlebell - which means they were putting a 54 pound kettlebell over their heads for 10 solid minutes in the KB Snatch. Truly awesome work at ANY age, they are both in their lower-mid 50's.
