22 April 2023 at 20:40 Koanda won three European Championship golds in weightlifting Weightlifter Solfrid Koanda struck with European Championship gold in both jerk, push and overall in Armenia on Saturday. Koanda lifted 117 kilos in jerks and 155 kilos in jerks. It held for gold in both exercises as well as overall. – We came up with a plan, it worked and then some. Not 100 percent with a miss in the first move, but I kept my cool and set new records. Very happy with the records. They felt light and I am looking forward to the continuation. I am very satisfied with the team, fully trusted the scheme, and was able to focus on my tasks, she says. Thus, Koanda followed up in perfect fashion after victory in the 87-kilogram class at the WC in Bogota, Colombia, before Christmas. Then she also won both jerk, push and overall. – I am proud and happy, Solfrid is a fantastic weightlifter – this is world class. We had made one offensive run at the start of January, and Solfrid performed better than that. With a total of 272 kilos, she has gained a full 12 kilos since the WC in December. She outclassed her competitors, setting 5 Nordic and Norwegian records, says president of the Norwegian Weightlifting Association Stian Grimseth. – She has a mental strength that is rare, and a positive demeanor that is contagious. She is an excellent role model and works hard every day towards the Olympics in Paris next year, continues general secretary Svein-Erik Edvartsen.
