Excellent interview with Marianne Huebner, professor of statistics, IMWF research committee member, Masters weightlifter. She is the person who researched the influence of age on weightlifting performance, which resulted in the adjustment of the Sinclair formula for Masters weightlifters. And now she and her team have produced the Q-points. Q-points aim to improve our ability to compare performance across weight classes in Olympic weightlifting. They seem to be doing a better job than Sinclairs - as Marianne proves.
Enjoy!
