The competition, which took place last Sunday in El Ejido (Almería), saw three representatives from the island club reach the podium in their respective categories. This event served as a qualifying round for the upcoming national championship.
In the up to 60-kilogram category, an athlete from the club was crowned Andalusian champion in Olympic Total. This lifter won gold medals in both snatch and clean & jerk, meeting the minimum mark required to participate in the Spanish U-17 Championship.
The national event will be held on May 16 and 17 in Alcañiz (Teruel), where the Andalusian champion will represent the club and the province after his successful qualification.
In the women's up to 53-kilogram category, another club athlete achieved the Andalusia runner-up title in Olympic Total. She also secured a gold medal in snatch and a bronze in clean & jerk, placing her among the top competitors in her weight class at the regional competition.
A third participant, only 12 years old and one of the youngest in the championship, earned a bronze medal in Olympic Total and repeated the position in clean & jerk in the up to 48-kilogram category, demonstrating great potential.
These results enhance the profile of Club Halterofilia San Fernando in competitions outside Andalusia and confirm the quality of its young talents in youth weightlifting.
