by Alea Fairchild | Jul 3, 2011 | Lifting Events

Yesterday was the 2nd International Ladies Open and Masters Weightlifting in Waregem, Belgium, which is the home club of two of our main Belgian international referees, Jozef and Michel. It was the last tournament on the first half of my season, 104kg total and second...

16e Memorial Decottignies – Comines, France – 25 June

by Alea Fairchild | Jun 28, 2011 | Uncategorized

I was part of the national Belgian womens team, which was me, and two female cadets.   So we did not win, as other teams had five lifters but had a good time, but a long day. Some photos below:...

European Masters Weightlifting 2011 – Heinsheim, Germany

by Alea Fairchild | Jun 2, 2011 | Uncategorized

Return of the weary traveler, two things I did not expect:  thought I would perform better, and thought I would come back with no medal, or bronze. Silver medal, and 104 kg total, 4 for 6.  My last jerk of 63 turned into the Mexican wave, showing I am still young...

  Hard week, working towards the European Masters in Germany in two weeks, so this was a hard training for me.  Did reasonably, got four out of six, and was credible with a third place overall...

Round two – Second Belgian Interclub 2013, Waterloo, Belgium

Apr 20, 2013

Yes, THAT Waterloo,  we are nothing but historic here in weightlifting land! As it is an interclub, we had two plateaus of nine lifters, and like the Titanic, women and children went first.  🙂 Did okay, got 5.5 for 6 (just missed the last jerk), and the total was...

Spring Break in Florida

Apr 7, 2013

Had to go to Florida (!) for a conference during Easter week, but it does not mean I stop training!   Thanks to the folks at Crossfit Kingspoint, I was able to get a few training sessions in with the appropriate equipment.  Other photo is the view out of my hotel room...

First national interclub 2013 – Seraing, Sat 9 Mar

Mar 10, 2013

After flying back from the States, and having an unsettling week, I was a bit out of sorts, and it showed in only 3 out of 6 lifts, with my last jerk of 61kg hitting the underside of my chin, as I did not get it out of the way.   Oh, well.   There is always next time!...
