The second place and silver moved to a lifter from Madagascar, Rosina Randafiarison, who performed her total of 170 kg, 77 kg in Snatch, and 93 kg in Clean and Jerk.

Bronze was taken by a well-known Cansu Bektaş from Turkey. Let’s remember: she has already competed at the European Weightlifting Championships in Yerevan by setting three European junior records by getting 3 gold medals. This time, unfortunately, she took only the third place with a total of 162 kg, 75 kg in Snatch, and 87 kg – C&J. She managed to improve her results in Snatch by 3 kg, while there was a difference of 3 kg between the current C&J and the prior one.
