“Fortitudine Vincimus – By Endurance We Conquer”

Welcome to Girevoy Sport Australia Association (GSAA), the official home of Australian Kettlebell Sport since 2007.

Established in 2007, the Girevoy Sport Australia Association (GSAA) is a self-funded & not-for-profit egalitarian organisation that has been legally incorporated in the state of New South Wales since 2009. GSAA is affiliated with the IUKL (International Union of Kettlebell Lifting based in Latvia & also works with IKSFA to popularize and promote competitive Kettlebell lifting.

Our purpose is to establish and nurture a framework of support for the development of the sport at regional, state and national levels as per Australian National Sports Authority Guidelines. We also promote Kettlebell lifting for fun & fitness, and we are happy to provide information to athletes from other sports. New members, including non-competitive members, are always welcome to join as a member.

Girevoy (Kettlebell) sport is a unique cyclical power endurance sport . It combines some technical elements of Olympic weight lifting with aerobic qualities seen in whole body endurance sports such as rowing and cross country skiing. Athletes generally compete in 10-minute events , however relay races , marathons (up to 12 hours), strength challenges and power juggling are additional facets to competitive lifting.
