This year the European youth championships took place in the beautiful city of Milan, Italy. In true Italian style the competition started with a fantastic opening ceremony full of Music, Opera Singing and art which set the tone for a very well run competition from the Italian Weightlifting Federation.
7 athletes competed for GB throughout this week long event, Last to compete was Chloe Hood in the Women’s Youth 69kg category in her first GB international. After a solid opener Chloe came just short on her second snatch attempt, but bravely decided to increase her weight to 69kg on the 3rd lift which she executed well and proved the increase to be a good decision. In Clean & jerk she again started well, eventually delivering a very solid 85kg Clean & Jerk to secure a 154kg Total, a 7th place finish and the highest ranking of any GBR athlete at the 2018 championships.
