11 days. One passion. ❤️

For everyone already missing Commonwealths: this one is for you.

“One Passion”, the banquet film from the 2026 Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships in Winnipeg, is now available on YouTube.

The emotion on the platform. The roar of the crowd. The people beside you when it all sinks in. These are the moments we’ll carry home with us.

Thank you to Clean Strength Media for giving our community something to return to long after the Championships have ended.

To every athlete, coach, referee, volunteer, staff member and supporter: thank you for being part of it.

🎥 Watch the full nine-minute film on Clean Strength Media’s YouTube channel.

Congratulations to Amy Louden and Lex Runke, our volunteer grand prize winners! 🎉

They’ve each won a pass to Thermëa Spa Village Winnipeg for some very well-earned downtime!

Amy took charge of food and hospitality, keeping our crew fed and looked after through the long days of Commonwealths. That was a huge job, and we’re so grateful she took it on!

Lex was a star on commentary and at the merch table, bringing energy to the mic and helping everyone head home with some Commonwealths gear!

Thank you both for giving so much of your time to this championship. Enjoy your spa day!

A big thank-you to Thermëa Spa Village Winnipeg for generously providing these prizes, and to every volunteer who helped us pull this event off. We were lucky to have you all! ❤️

Here’s my regular post-comp yap for anyone interested in reading 😁 that long plane ride gave me plenty of time to reflect on the 11 Days of competition. So many memories and lessons learned, and now a nice big break (for me) before doing more international comps in 2027!

If you competed/coached/volunteered at the @2026commonwealthpowerlifting Championships, what was the highlight for you? Anything you wanted to reflect on? taken in 2026 Commonwealth Powerlifting Federation Championships - Winnipeg, Canada by @2026commonwealthpowerlifting

With the Commonwealths wrapped up, Arena is looking back on its first international competition.

We’re extremely grateful to be a part of the sport we love, fulfilling a need we always knew was there with the competitions we’re proud to be involved with. To see the community involving themselves with our systems, utilizing them, and giving feedback humbles us and drives our passion to continuously improve and innovate.

We can’t wait to make more, host more, and become more. This is just the beginning of Arena.

Thank you. by @2026commonwealthpowerlifting
