Jackson Young
Jackson Roberts-Young (weightlifting) is making his Commonwealth Games debut in Birmingham. Jackson produced a PB in both the snatch and total – and 13th overall – at the 2016 IWF Junior World Championships – his first international competition – just 15 months after taking up the sport. He then went on to claim a silver and three bronze medals from the 2019 Pacific Games and Oceania Championships. He finished 14th at the 2021 World Championships in Tashkent – and third among Commonwealth lifters – with a total of 337 kg. Coached by Peter Upham at Shire Speed and Strength in Sydney, Jackson set his PBs in snatch (151kg), clean & jerk (200kg) and total (351kg) at the NSW Senior Championships in May 2021.
