Toma’s Training Statement
Although she will not compete in this year’s World Championships, Romania’s Loredana Toma has once again reminded the weightlifting community why her name still carries weight. In a recent Instagram post, Toma executed a 119 kg snatch with her trademark precision and power.
For many fans, this was more than just a training clip – it was a glimpse of the standard she set as a former world champion and world record holder in the women’s 71 kg category.
Even outside official competition, Toma continues to inspire lifters worldwide with her textbook technique and fearless approach to heavy weights.
The 69 kg Category Without Toma
With Loredana Toma absent from the stage, the newly introduced 69 kg women’s category becomes one of the most exciting battles to watch at the Weightlifting World Championships 2025.
At the center of the spotlight is Olivia Reeves of the United States, who has been building incredible momentum and is now seen as the top favorite for gold.
Reeves has proven her consistency under pressure and her ability to deliver when it matters most. Backed by steady progress in both the snatch and clean & jerk, she is expected to set the pace in this division. Rivals from powerhouse nations such as Colombia and Bahrain will be her main competitors.
Still, Toma’s shadow will hang over the category. Her recent 119 kg training snatch is a reminder of the numbers that once ruled the division, setting a bar that her rivals will undoubtedly keep in mind.
Why This Matters
Even when not competing, Loredana Toma manages to shape the narrative of women’s weightlifting. Her lifts continue to inspire and challenge both current competitors and young athletes worldwide.
The IWF Championships 2025 will showcase new champions, but Toma’s influence remains part of the story – proof that a true legend can command attention from anywhere.

Best Results: Snatch – 57 kg,
C&J – 73 kg
I’m Vladyslava, and sport has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 10 years, I’ve explored it all – from CrossFit and powerlifting to running a half marathon. But my true passion found its home in Olympic weightlifting.
I’m proud to be a Ukrainian Weightlifting Champion (2018) and a prize winner of national championships in 2018–2019. My best lifts? A 57 kg snatch and a 73 kg clean & jerk in the 51 kg weight class. I’m also a Candidate for Master of Sports in weightlifting – and I’m still chasing new goals every day.
Beyond training, I’ve earned two Master’s degrees: one in Sport Management and another in Physical Education. Whether I’m lifting a barbell or helping others grow in sport, I’m all in – because for me, sport isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle.
