Olympic Games Weightlifting Special in the Financial Times

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2012

It was nothing short of brilliant—the IWF "Olympic Games Weightlifting Special . . . London 2012" appeared as an advertising insert in yesterday’s Financial Times, a leading business newspaper that is published in London and read by business leaders worldwide.

Visually appealing, explaining the sport and pitching it to potential sponsors—this four-page insert is precisely the sort of thing that can put some added air under the wings of weightlifting. 

Bravo to the IWF!
