Team USA's work in Georgia is done, and they didn't finish it quietly.

Jessie Bradley

Jessie had a fantastic meet and won eighth overall in the 75kg weight class. She made her opener and second attempt on snatch to finish with 96kg (Only 1kg under her best snatch at the Olympic Trials). Jessie also went 2/3 in the clean-and-jerk, and lifted 114kg on her third attempt. She is one of two U.S. female athletes who lifted in the A session and placed among the top 10 in her respective weight class.

Josh Ji

Josh had a MONSTER performance with an eighth-place finish in the 105kg weight category. He managed to take home three separate PRs in the snatch, clean-and-jerk, and total! Josh was credited with a 152kg snatch on his third attempt, as well as a 186kg clean-and-jerk, and went 4/6 overall. Not bad for his first world-level competition!
