Olympic Three-Peat For Kendrick Farris
To call oneself an Olympian even once in a lifetime is a respectable achievement. To do so three times is on another level. 

Kendrick Farris competed in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games for the US (placing 8th and 10th respectively). After an all-around gold performance at the 2016 Pan American Senior Championships Saturday he will make his third Olympic run.

2016 Senior Pan Ams: Kendrick Farris Clean & Jerk (194/195/199)




Kendrick competed at IWF World Championships in November, finishing with a 165kg. snatch and 198kg. clean-and-jerk, for a 363kg. total. This puts his Pan Ams total 1kg. above his World's total. World Championship archives can be found here. Pan Ams archives will be added later this week.

Congrats Kendrick!
