JAMES

Wow!  Who would have thought that this past year, our son would be traveling and competing as both the Romanian National Junior 2 Champion and the Balkan Junior 2 Champion.  Culminating with being on the Romanian National Power Lifting Team and traveling to Lithuania for the European Junior 1 & 2 Championships.  Here are some photos from that and the past months, where each competition he has taken gold - both in his weight category and as overall for all boys under 18.  He has competed in men's overall competitions here in Romania, where he has finished with silver and bronze (meaning he competed against all ages in his weight category).
He did not win a medal at the European Championships but won the hearts of many, as the youngest competitor (and with the least amount of years competing).  He did personal bests in both the squat and dead lifts, and finished 7th of 14 in the bench press.  May God be glorified, and we look forward to next year (God willing).
