Several Australian weightlifters will have their second-to-last chance at a Rio Olympics berth when they compete at the Australian Weightlifting International.
The tournament, being held in Brisbane this weekend, will give lifters like two-time Olympian Damon Kelly the opportunity to achieve Olympic qualifying weights.
Female lifters Tia-Clair Toomey and Erika Ropati-Frost have already cleared that hurdle, but they'll now fight it out to win a ticket to Rio.
Only one Australian man and woman is expected to qualify for the Brazil games for weightlifting.
Commonwealth Games gold medallist Simplice Ribouem is the only Australian male to have already lifted the qualifying weight for Rio.
The Cameroon-born lifter overcame a 12-month battle with malaria to post his qualifying mark last November.
Kelly needs to lift at least another nine kilograms this weekend to make the trip.
Another former Cameroon lifter, Francois Etoundi is in the same boat, but will save his bid for the Oceania Championships to be held in Fiji in May.
Among the women, Brisbane's Ropati-Frost has long been considered the front runner for Olympic nomination.
However an injury at the end of last year, and an incredible display by Australian cross-fit games athlete, Toomey, has dramatically shaken up the race for Rio.
A top class international field will compete at the Australian International this weekend, including several Commonwealth Games medallists.
If it doesn't work out for the Australian hopefuls this weekend, their final chance will come at the Oceania Championships in May.
