Meanwhile at Europeans 2017 …
Bernardin Kingue Matam (68.75kg, France) becomes European champion!
After a rough start in the the snatch (140kg, x143, x144) he took the title with an all out 180kg clean & Jerk and finished the show off with an awesome backflip!
More: Bernardin Squatting in the training hall a couple of days earlier.
Gutsy effort (an understatement), and finally a success for an athlete that until now had not really fulfilled his undeniable potential.
Needs to sort out his snatch though, but one thing at a time.

Elbow touched knee in the hole? Also those elbows overhead, tough to watch.
