Kim Walford Chooses USPA

[KOTJ]

She made a recent announcement about choosing to leave USAPL/IPF, essentially to due politics/bullshit.

Now she will pull 800 cuz muh dedlft bar.

If the USAPL/IPF can't keep Kim Walford..... I wonder how long it'll be until some of the other great lifters leave.

I can't remember what the original falling out with USAPL was about?

I believe the IPF are getting shellacked because they choose not to let her compete for US Virgin Isles instead.

I guess we now know the topic of an upcoming Jugglife episode.

Now she can use a Pioneer belt.

I assume there's more to the story (Walford was an Athlete's Representative) but it seems she did not reply to an invite to the World's before the deadline and the Team refused to let her in afterwards...

I know after the Powerlifting Australia debacle a lot of the Aussie lifters appear to be walking from the IPF, although I don't know if any World Competitions were missed?
