My fourth World Championships in the books 📖🏋️‍♀️ I went from snatching for the first time in almost 4 weeks when I arrived here on Tuesday to snatching 80 kilos today 🙏 It was not totally pain free, but I don’t feel any worse now 🤞🏻 I was not excited at all to be here and when I came to the warm up area this morning before the comp I was not sure that I would be able to snatch much more than 65 kilos or even compete at all, because it would not be worth any more pain. I just thought about one lift at a time and it turned out so much better than expected 🙌 Sometimes it feels soo good to have no expectations at all and no pressure. (Ok felt a little pressure from myself and others to compete..) BUT I had so much fun today && I can’t wait for the next one 🥳 I will be healed by then, I can just feel it ❤️😻 I lifted 72-75-80kg/95-101-103kg #iwf #worldchampionships #pattaya #thailand #thankful #smallbutmighty 🐭

Cependant, c’est assez loin de son record personnel en compétition internationale avec un snatch à 87kg réalisé cette année au championnat d’Europe et un clean & jerk à 108kg en 2017.
