Selected with the Grand Est team for the Lyon International Tournament, Elena Aigle, member of Langres Weightlifting, is to be credited with a good performance. Elena, who was recovering from a minor injury, had an appointment with the elite on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 February.
After a good season with the Langres women’s N1 team, Elena was keen to qualify for the French championships.
She was going to rise to the occasion with a 3e 70 kg bar in the snatch, a 2e at 85 kg at the throw She stuck with nothing at 90 kg.
After a somewhat reduced activity, these are already more than honorable charges achieved by the young Lingonne, who at the same time takes an excellent 3e place in its category of less than 59 kg, and which allows it to be able to participate in the individual French championships.
President Jean-Louis Gudin, present alongside his protegee, thinks that with bars at 72 kg, in the first movement of the snatch and 92 kg in the throw, Elena has every chance of getting on the podium of the championships of France.
She will therefore start again with a vengeance in training. And when you know the girl, you can trust her. Seriousness and motivation are his watchwords and under these conditions, the predictions of President Jean-Louis Gudin could only prove to be accurate. They will already be two to participate in the national championships, since Brandon Vautard already has his sesame in his pocket. Langrese tradition wants at least one athlete to come back with a title. It only remains to hope that this continues.
