Lithuanian Championship – Gargždai

On June 24-25, the Lithuanian women’s and men’s weightlifting championship took place in Klaipėda. After the zonal competition, 11 Gargždi players won the right to participate in the final competition.
Among the women, three athletes from Gargžda entered the final competition and became winners in their weight categories. Agneta Dotaitė became the champion in the weight category up to 49 kg, who lifted 42 kg with a pull action and pushed 52 kg with a push action, and collected 94 kg in a duel. In the weight category up to 59 kg, Evelina Galaibo became the champion after lifting 58 kg, pushing 77 kg and collecting 135 kg in a duel. In the weight category up to 71 kg, Lijana Jakaitė became the champion after lifting 94 kg in the pull-up action, 110 kg in the push-up action and 204 kg in the duel.

According to coach Edvardas Šauklis, after taking a breather after the competition, L. Jakaitė will continue to work hard in the training room, because at the beginning of September the weightlifter will participate in the World Championship in Saudi Arabia, where rating points will continue to be collected in the fight for the Olympic ticket.
