USA Weightlifting’s premier event, the 2026 National Championships Week, returns to Colorado Springs from Saturday, June 20, through Sunday, June 28, at Ed Robson Arena.

The nine-day competition will feature the Senior, Junior, U25, and Youth National Championships, bringing together more than 1,500 athletes from across the country.

Fans will have the opportunity to watch many of the nation’s top weightlifters compete for national titles, including Olympic gold medalist Olivia Reeves and rising Team USA standout Kolbi Ferguson. The event also serves as an important stepping stone for athletes pursuing opportunities on the international stage and working toward the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

As one of the largest weightlifting events in the country, the National Championships highlights the continued growth of the sport in the United States and celebrates the strength of Team USA following recent international success, including the USA Women’s Team earning the team title at the 2025 World Championships.

Written by Lindsay Joelle and Directed by GerRee Hinshaw.

Danny is a white, blue-collar, born-and-bred New Yorker. Marlowe is Black, Ivy-League-educated, and just joined the sanitation department. They’ve got one thing in common: the route. Over the course of countless trash pickups, this odd couple bickers, bonds, and uncovers unexpected truths about themselves—and the city they serve. Directed by GerRee Hinshaw (Dream Hou$e), The Garbologists is a sharp and heartfelt comedy about finding connection in the mess of everyday life. It closes our 50th season with grit, laughter, and plenty of trash talk.
