CHAIRMAN - Bill Barton

I succeeded the late, great Walter Legal, as European Masters Chairman in 1999, I hope that I have been as successful a Chairman as Walter was as a weightlifter. I know I have appointed a strong European Masters Committee who will support me, and therefore serve you all well in Masters weightlifting.

VICE CHAIRMAN - Anton Huber

Anton became a Vice President of the Committee when it was reorganized in Kazincbarciks, Hungary, in 1999.

Anton is a tireless worker for the Committee and as an IWF CAT I REFEREE he has refereed more weightlifting sessions at the 2002 Championships in Stockholm, than any other official. He is also Chairman of the IWF Masters Hall of Fame Committee.

In his brief breaks from working as an official at the championships, Anton still competes in the Masters program and has won gold, silver, and bronze medals in both the World and European Masters Championships. TOP

SECRETARY / TRESURER - Kurt A Rosenberger

Kurt is the European Masters Committee Secretary and Treasurer. In addition , at every championship, he takes on the enormous task of ensuring we have 3 referees, a Technical Controller, and a Jury. With approximately 35 sessions at Masters championships, this is a very important job. No one could do it better.

You will also see Kurt on the weightlifting platform, and winning medals. He is possibly only two or three medals away from the European Masters Hall of Fame. TOP

TECHNICAL OFFICER - Jan Hinrichsen

Jan is a policeman in Stockholm, Sweden. In fact if you had to guess his profession, I imagine you would take one look at him and say – “a policemen”. At over 120 kgs body weight and 2 M in height, it is no surprise.

Jan works tirelessly at every championship, he is also an IWF CAT I Referee and was appointed as the European Masters Technical Officer in 1999. Injury has prevented Jan from competing as often as he would have liked over the past 5 years, nevertheless, I am sure you will see lots more of him on the platform in the future. TOP
