2007 Golden West Open

It's the 44th edition of this meet, billed as, "The longest-running Olympic Weightlifting Open Competition in America," and if that's not enough reason to be there, it's in Northern California, so along with everything that makes local meets so special, you'll also see plenty of marquee names from the weightlifting world.
