Jonathan Chin (T 07-12) breaks two British Records and wins 'England Weightlifting Championships'

Jonathan Chin (T 07-12) recently participated in the England Weightlifting Championships, marking his sixth and final competition of the year. Having consistently won the English Championships for the past four years, this event secured his fifth consecutive English Title.

Competing in the Men's 73kg weight class, Chin made notable accomplishments by breaking two British Records. In the 'Clean and Jerk', he lifted 170kg, and in 'The Total', he reached 300kg. These achievements reflect Chin's consistent performance and skill in the sport, rounding off the year with another successful appearance at the national championships.

During his time here at Rugby School, Jonathan was well known for his Athletic sprinting prowess, and only got into Olympic Weightlifting after sustaining a hamstring injury. Last year Jonathan returned to School to deliver a successful masterclass in Olympic Weightlifting.
