London.

Many people may be surprised to know that more than 60 countries are alliated to the International Weightlifting Federation and that the sport is practised in almost every country in the world, addition, sportsmen in many other spheres have now recognised the usefulness of weight-training in building up that physical strength which it is so necessary to add to,skill and stamina in these days of fierce international competition in sport. Athletes and footballers provide excellent examples of the success of such' training.
