Phenomenal athlete. Mental grit at its finest. As the commentator said "career defining moment".

[@rebeca5270]

God calls you to repentance. Tomorrow is not a promise, and God does not want you to die in sin and go to hell, but to repent and believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life That is why Jesus Christ (God made Man) died on the cross. You broke the Law, but Christ paid your fine. He suffered in your place, as your Substitute, and rose again after three days, now seated at the right hand of the Father; He is King over all. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Christ is coming soon.

[@lmaonade.]

You need to understand the work that goes into one single moment to truly appreciate what it means to these athletes. Remarkable work ethic

[@RoyalDNA80]

Despite her not posting a total, for her to come back and snatch 85 after 2 misses AND bombing out at Euros is remarkable. That takes true resilience, especially in such a rough sport like weightlifting

[@Foxhound1Nine]

Real nice snatch she's got 👍

[@bensacc]

for everyone wondering, she had to get at least 85 to to stay in contention for Paris. So, may as well give yourself at least 3 shots at it (is my guess at what the strategy was, and it does make some sense). yes, it's an aggressive weight, but why waste chances on less? it sounds like she worked up to at least 80 in warm up, so, just got for it.

[@nattyfatty6.0]

This should be top comment

[@ssigaprv8669]

yeah agreed

[@edntz]

Not only would going for less be wasted, but it would've also wasted energy and strength.

[@johndoherty-hh2ck]

I know this isn’t any kind of consolation for her but even if she had made her last cl&jk she still wouldn’t have qualified. Two other athletes passed her afterwards. Still the third attempt snatch save was outstanding and gave her fans hope for a little while longer. Terrific competitor.

I really don't understand the team Italy strategy. Why they can't start at a low weight to build confidence in the athlete and then jump to heavier weights? I'm really sorry for Giulia, she has a great technique, but it seems that the pressure put in these athletes are too high for her.

[@RouletteRog]

I've been thinking the same thing. I was really pulling for her to come back after that debacle in Sofia.

[@thechosenone93]

This is probably the third competition she has bombed out on:what’s peculiar is that Sergio Massida has consistently improved,Pizzolato is basically maintaining,Magistris is doing OK,Misirendino is doing sub optimal whereas she is the ONLY Italian that is consistently bombing. Either she’s not listening to coaches,or they’re giving her bad advice or she’s doing her own thing.

[@kingkam9982]

It's because the new qualifying rules are so harsh. Go big or go home

[@DeimDrum]

Because in order to qualify She has to lift at least 85kg, so they prefer to start with the "maximum" weight, having 3 attempts. By the way, I agree with you, mentally speaking it can be a dangerous strategy.

[@DeimDrum]

@@thechosenone93 I think she is just too "emotional". It's a psychological "weakness", because she trains very hard, like the others.

Woah, I totally did not expect this. clicked on this video on a whim, and then it hit me out of nowhere-so powerful and raw.

[@lars277]

I want to write my thoughts about Weightlifting House. I have been watching this channel for a while now. I think I joined just prior to Europeans this year. That money I spent to join to become a member is the best money I have ever spent on sporting events. These Pan-American's, Asian, European, and World's Championships are the best events in my opinion. I have become very accustomed to the great narration. I forget the Englishman's name, but that gentleman has an encyclopedic knowledge and memory of these lifters. I am starting to know some of these lifters well also, but that man has it down. Like I said, if you enjoy these videos, you should join. Not once have I ever regretted joining and paying the minuscule dues. Great job Gentlemen. Kudos. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Could that narrow grip affect the catch? I’ve seen her miss on other comps and noticed that. Just a thought!

Both narrower and wider grips have their disadvantages. Her problem seems to be looping the bar a bit as she's finishing the pull.
