A Historical Recollection of Weightlifting in South Australia by Jeff Thompson, President South Australian Weightlifting Association (SAWLA) 2007-2008.
The Australian Weightlifting Federation was founded in 1920 and although no record is presently available reference in a copy of the British magazine Superman around 1939 indicated that after a lapse of some time an association was again formed around 1932. So a South Australian Weightlifting Association could have been in existence in the 1920’s. Some evidence of weightlifting activity prior to the 1920’s is currently available through an article written in Iron Man magazine in the 1950’s by Mark Lewis from Melbourne a regular feature writer of the time. |
