Hannah Crymble is best female lifter at National Senior Weightlifting Championships

Northern Irish 59kg weightlifter Hannah Crymble was named the best female lifter at this weekend’s National Senior Weightlifting Championships with an 85kg Snatch, 105kg Clean & Jerk, and 190kg total — all new Irish records in her weight category, as well as competition PBs for Crymble herself.

Crymble’s Sinclair score — a measure used to compare lifters in different weight categories by multiplying their total lift by a coefficient related to body weight — was 260.8505.

Crymble, who has been outspoken about issues like body image and self-confidence, represented Northern Ireland in last year’s Commonwealth games, where she finished in sixth after lifting 186 kg (83kg Snatch and 103kg Clean & Jerk) — personal bests at the time, but well below this weekend’s performance.

She is a member of Fianna Weightlifting Club.
