The Pan American Senior Championships will be filled with legends and favorites in the sport, including Mattie Rogers, Kendrick Farris, and others.

For the men, it’s a chance for the US to earn a spot at the Olympics. If the team can place 7th or better, one lifter will punch his ticket to Rio. For the women, it’s a chance to earn international medals and start working towards their next Olympic run. For both, it's a chance to make their mark on the weightlifting world.

Farris and Vardanian have called themselves Olympians before, will they earn the name again? Rogers may not be on her way to the 2016 Olympics, but she's back to work, setting herself up for 2020.
