Welcome to the official website of the Girevoy Sport Australia Association (GSAA)  , established in 2007!

Motto : "Fortitudine Vincimus" ("By Endurance we Conquer")

We are a not for profit organisation legally incorporated in the state of New South Wales.

Girevoy sport is a unique power endurance sport in which the best exponents are possibly the fittest athletes on the planet. It combines elements of Olympic lifting with aerobic qualities seen in sports such as rowing and cross country skiing. Athletes generally compete in 10minute events , however relay races , marathons (up to 12 hours) and juggling are additional facets to competitive lifting.
Until recently confined to Russian and Eastern Europe,  the sport is now becoming popularised in the West.

GSAA is affiliated with the IUKL (International Union of Kettlebell Lifting http://giri-iukl.com/Eng/index_rus.html) , based in Latvia .

The Association through formal membership oversees competitive kettlebell lifting within Australia , under girevoy sport rules established by the IUKL.

We also promote kettlebell lifting for fun & fitness.

We are happy to provide information to athletes from other sports.

New members , including non-competitive members , are always welcome.
