The Malta Weightlifting Association organised the annual Malta Open Championships where Tenishia Thornton and Shaun Ciantar won the overall titles for the day.
Almost a tradition for every single competition now, Thornton managed some new national records and personal bests at the meet.
The 16-year-old finished with a 79kg snatch and 98kg clean and jerk in the 59kg weight category. She not only placed first in the U-17 and U-20 age categories, but also won the title for the seniors with a whopping 248 points.
Kim Camilleri Lagana topped the Under 15 age category and followed Thornton in the ranking all the way to the senior age group.
