Sports Weightlifting

 

The NSWIS Weightlifting Program aims to develop the skill of scholarship athletes and enhance their opportunities for selection into national teams. It is a centralised program, delivered from the State Sports Centre at Sydney Olympic Park, and is underpinned by an Emerging Athlete Program.

The NSWIS Weightlifting Program targets athletes who show the potential for international success at both senior and junior levels. The selection of athletes for the program covers events for males and females in the IWF World Championships and Olympic Games.

Luke Borreggine is the Head Coach of the NSWIS Weightlifting program. A national and international coach for the Australian Weightlifting Federation since 1993, Borreggine has coached Australia at 13 World Weightlifting Championships during his career. He was also the Head Coach for the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Australian Olympic Weightlifting teams, and the 1998 and 2002 Commonwealth Games teams.
