Training Room Members at the MWA Open Weightlifting Championships.


The MWA Malta Open Weightlifting Championships saw 4 of Training Room's members and coaches competing across both female and male categories. The team, lead by Yazooligan (hi, it's me), included Shaun Ciantar, Dimitrije Avramovic, Alana Muscat and Svetlana Falzon.
Shaun (-96kg) finished with an incredible total, where he managed 120kg snatch for a competition PR, and a National Record clean and jerk of 148kg!
Weightlifting coach Dimi (-102kg) started his snatches at 105kg, then went on to successfully lift 112kg. He then decided to call it a day due to a minor injury.
Alana Muscat (-81kg), managed her opening snatch at 57kg, then went on to get her second attempt at 60kg. She attempted to increase her competition best by putting 63kg on the bar for the third attempt but was unfortunately unsuccessful. She went to miss her opening attempt at 70kg on her clean and jerks, however, made a massive comeback by not only getting her second attempt at 70kg, but putting 5 more kilos on the bar and smashing her last attempt for a new PR!
Svetlana Falzon (-87kg) had an incredible comp where she equalled her best snatch on competition at 53kg on her second attempt and went on to try a 56kg PR on her last which she unfortunately missed. She went on to open with a PR clean and jerk at 65kg, and even got her second at 69kg.
Our Training Room weightlifting team is growing stronger and stronger with every competition and we can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings!
