Norway Strongest 2026 - OSG Qualifier
Athletes with spina bifida, cerebral palsy, or other similar diagnoses.
Deadlift for max weight with set jumps and rising bar style - 3 attempts
Each category has a set weight their Rising Bar starts at. If you are NOT doing a weight, you will have to inform the wrangler/athlete contact before that round starts in order to skip that lift.
If you do not make sure you are skipped, that lift will count as one of your three lifts.
3 attempts only - make sure to skip all lifts up until your chosen start weight
From "lift" signal given from judges, you will have 30 seconds to execute a good lift.
No drops from lockout - bar must be followed down
No suit
No oil on legs
straps allowed
call your next attempt to the wrangler immediately after your lift.
3 Dumbbells to be liftet overhead - for time
Split time will be taken of every successful rep
The circus dumbbells must be lifted overhead and finish with the arm fully extended OVER the athlete — not in front, not behind, and not excessively out to the side.
Once locked out, the athlete must demonstrate control. This means that briefly reaching elbow lockout and then immediately dropping the dumbbell does NOT meet the requirement for “control.”
The dumbbell must be guided all the way down onto the crash pad with the hand(s). Dropping the dumbbell = no control = no rep.
If the athlete is unable to hit the crash pad when lowering the dumbbell, they have not demonstrated control, and the lift will be disallowed.
The judge’s down signal only represents 2/3 of the requirements for a valid repetition.
The athlete may use both hands to get the dumbbell onto the shoulder, but from the moment the press begins, the lift must be completed using one arm only.
a) Knees, hips, and elbow must be fully locked out, and the athlete must demonstrate full control of the dumbbell.
b) The judge must give the down signal.
c) The dumbbell must land on the crash pad.
