Alexandra Besse [club]

In 2020 she was affected by a back injury. (olympics.com, 10 Apr 2020)

During her career she has suffered fractures to her wrist on several occasions. (blog.audelarka.com, 09 Sep 2020)

She began weightlifting in 2011. (be-gold.be, 03 Nov 2015)

She competed in shot put before switching to weightlifting. Her athletics coach decided to introduce her and some other athletes to weightlifting to improve their performance. After six months of training she qualified for the European junior championships. "At these championships, I realised that's what I wanted to do. The atmosphere of the competition was great and I really liked the peculiarities of the sport. You can move a heavy load up with speed and ease. It's very nice. I liked these movements very much." (olympics.com, 10 Apr 2020; be-gold.be, 03 Nov 2015)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (olympic.be, 13 Apr 2019)

Philosophy:

"Once you are under the spell of weightlifting you will not let go. It is contagious." (bruzz.be, 15 Jul 2017)

CLUB FOUNDER
She, her mother, and two friends co-founded the Brussels Weightlifting School [BWS] in Belgium, where she also works as head coach. "I like to pass on [my experience] to young people who unfortunately start too late. Often they are already aged 18. There are far too many prejudices about weightlifting, especially in girls, and I want to suppress that taboo through serious guidance." (Facebook profile, 12 Apr 2019; bruzz.be, 15 Jul 2017)

FURTHER EDUCATION
She has taken a course in Russian language studies at Moscow State Linguistic University in the Russian Federation. (Facebook profile, 31 Aug 2019; bruzz.be, 15 Jul 2017)
