Britain's Campbell wins fifth European title

Britain's Emily Campbell made history as she won a fifth straight European Weightlifting Championship title.

The 30-year-old lifted a total of 281kg in a dominant display to take the gold medal in the +87kg category in Chisinau, Moldova.

Having won her first European crown in 2021, Campbell is the first British weightlifter to win five straight titles.

Campbell was the first British woman to win an Olympic weightlifting medal when she took silver at the 2020 Games in Tokyo, and she added a bronze in Paris last summer.

The Englishwoman will look to add to her medal haul at the 2025 World Weightlifting Championships in Norway in October.
