Chloe Hood recently competed in Yorkshire in the British Under15 Championships and performed superbly against older lifters to take the silver medal – and only miss out on the gold by one kilogram!
Competing against a group of high-standard lifters from England, Chloe demonstrated total composure and focus to lift competition PB's as well as breaking Welsh records at a number of age group levels as she lifted 55kg in the Snatch and 70kg in the Clean and Jerk.
Chloe trains at Strength Academy Wales where there is a great range of members from 13 to 63 years of age. The centre is a non-profit organisation providing local residents with opportunities to train and compete in weightlifting and powerlifting, whilst many members train to develop sports performance and most members train to develop health and well-being.
