Maude G. Charron (born 28 April 1993) is a Canadian weightlifter,[3] who competes in the 63/64 kg category and represents Canada at international competitions. She is an Olympic and Commonwealth Games champion in the women's 64 kg division. Charron also owns the clean & jerk Commonwealth Games record, the snatch and total Canadian weightlifting records, all the Panamerican records in her weight class.

Career

[edit]

Charron won the silver medal in the snatch at the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships.[4]

She continued her international weightlifting at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia. There she lifted a Commonwealth Games record when she lifted 122 kilograms (269 lb) in the clean and jerk on the way to the gold medal. This record beat compatriot Christine Girard's record from the 2006 Commonwealth Games by 1 kg.[5]

In her buildup to the 2020 Summer Olympics Charron competed at the 2020 Pan American Weightlifting Championships which were held in 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. She had a very successful competition in Santo Domingo on her way to gold setting personal bests and a Panamerican Record in all of the snatch, clean & jerk, and total lifted categories.[2] Charron won the gold medal in 64 kg division at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo with a 105 kg snatch and 131 kg clean and jerk, for a total of 236 kg.[6] Following her victory she dedicated her gold medal win to fellow Canadian Olympic champion Christine Girard, who had only received her gold six years after the 2012 Summer Olympics after the other two athletes in front of her were disqualified.[7]

Charron joined the Canadian team for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and was named as co-flagbearer for the opening ceremony alongside wheelchair racer Josh Cassidy.[8] She noted her excitement at her family being able to attend, which had not been the case at the Olympics due to the pandemic.[9] Charron mounted a successful title defence in Birmingham.[10]

In December 2022, she won the bronze medal in the women's 59 kg event at the World Weightlifting Championships held in Bogotá, Colombia.[11] In that same month, she was also elected as member of the IWF Athletes' Commission.[12]

Charron won the gold medal in her event at the 2023 Pan American Weightlifting Championships held in Bariloche, Argentina.[13] She also won the gold medal in the Snatch and Clean & Jerk events.

Named to her second Canadian Olympic team for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Charron was named Canada's co-flagbearer for the opening ceremonies, alongside sprinter Andre De Grasse.[14] She won the silver medal in the women's 59 kg event.[15]

At the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, Charron won her third consecutive gold medal at the event, taking first place in the women's 63 kg competition.[16]
