The adventure of the Italian national team ends with a bang Youth European Weightlifting Championships 2023 underway in Chisinau (Moldova). The only Azzurrino involved in the last day of the event has in fact respected the prediction of the eve, conquering three gold medals and giving a truly magnificent performance.
The hat-trick of Simone Karol Abati has allowed the tricolor selection to reach 22 overall podiums in the youth continental event (also open to the Under 15s), testifying to the quality of this team. Already silver at the last Under 17 World Cup, the talented Calabrian outdid himself this morning by sweeping away the competition in the category up to 96 kg.
However, Abati didn’t limit himself to winning and went on the hunt for important measures, crumbling his personal weight (144 kg of snatch, 173 of clean and 317 of total) and establishing the new Italian U17 and Junior records with 150 kg di snatch (get up on the first try, then fail the 158kg twice), 185kg of clean and jerk for a total of 335 kg in the general competition.
Weightlifting, Sara Dal Bò dominates in Chisinau and is the new U15 European champion in the -81 kg!
An astounding improvement, which projects our standard-bearer into a new dimension in terms of his category, even on a global level among his peers. To give a reference, the 2023 Youth World Championships which took place last March in Albania were won by the Turkish Baki Sami Kiymet with a total of 325 kg.
