Kolkata, May 27 (IBNS):  Paving a fresh chapter for Kettlebell sport in India, CoreFit, a health & fitness start-up by Samrat Sen, introduced BOLT Kettlebell Lifting sport of the International Kettlebell Lifting Federation (IKLF) to India.

The BOLT competitions were hosted by  nCore Fitness in Kolkata.

BOLT KB sport is a format where an athlete lifts for multiple events for 10mins per event to score the maximum number of repetitions and subsequent volume.  During the lift, one can set the bell on the floor or even change hands multiple times to complete the set

This was a path breaking event with Kettlebell athletes experiencing an all new format of lifting which they finished with big numbers and impressive international ranks.

IKLF President Nico Rithner said " We at IKLF are excited to have India represented in BOLT Kettlebell Lifting Sport League by Samrat Sen’s strong group of athletes at CoreFit!  They have deepened the field and raised the level of competition. We extend our congratulations on their strong results in the 2019 BOLT World Championship and look forward to lifting with them again in the next season!”

Samrat Sen Founder CoreFit said " Our goal has always been to provide unique opportunities to Kettlebell enthusiasts to showcase their talent and hardwork on the platform along with international athletes. We are happy with the way BOLT has been received in India, more exciting things are in the pipeline! We thank our partners and associates for their amazing support throughout.

Maninder Singh Founder nCore Fitness  said " Kettlebell Lifting tests not only strength and endurance, but also lifting technique of athletes. We are happy to host the IKLF Kettlebell Lifting event and provide a platform for lifters to compete and showcase their abilities.”

Awareness partner, Lovethyself Calcutta and owner Mr. Rahul Roy played a critical role in promoting and spreading awareness about the events.
