With support from The Sports Corp, the country’s premier annual Olympic-style weightlifting competition will take place June 24-July 2, 2023, at Ed Robson Arena. The state-of-the-art sustainable sporting venue opened in September 2021. Home to Colorado College’s men’s ice hockey team, Robson Arena is currently hosting that sport’s Under-17 Five Nations Tournament. It features 3,400 permanent spectator seats and 120,000 square feet for competition space, seating, locker rooms, concessions, restrooms, storage and administrative space.

Robson Arena is located at the north end of Downtown Colorado Springs, a booming area that includes more than 100 restaurants, breweries, distillers, coffee shops and bars, and nearly 1,000 hotel rooms split among seven hotels, all in walking distance.

Officially designated Olympic City USA in 2015, Colorado Springs is home to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee and more than 20 National Governing Bodies, plus such visitor destinations as the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and flagship U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center, each of which is a five-minute drive from Robson Arena.
