England Legacy Masters Championship and Para Powerlifting Open
On 17 and 18 June 2023 Oldbury Academy proudly hosted the England Legacy Masters Championship and the Para Powerlifting Open, in a celebration of the enduring legacy of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
The Oldbury Academy Olympic Weightlifting Club was chosen to receive items of equipment used by elite athletes during the Games as part of the ‘kit giveaway’ intended to give local communities and school children access to equipment to teach them how to develop strength, build resilience and overcome personal challenges.
The weekend of sporting excellence was followed by a visit to the school by the Mayor of the West Midlands, Andy Street, as part of his one-year Commonwealth Games anniversary tour of the region to see its legacy in action.
