💥 Event 1: Half Marathon One Arm Long Cycle – 22kg

• Coach Lu stepped onto the platform feeling strong.

• Within 5 reps, she knew this lift was going to be something special.

• But then—just 30 seconds in—disaster struck.

• A hand switch came a second too early, her left hand closed just a little too fast…

• The kettlebell hit the back of her fingers and dropped to the floor.

❌ In kettlebell sport, any contact with the ground means an immediate disqualification.

Every athlete’s worst fear—and it happened in the blink of an eye.

• Achieved rank: Candidate Master of Sport (CMS)

• Missed Master of Sport (MS) by just a few seconds of grip endurance.
