2023 European Championships silver medalist Giulia Imperio from team Italy recently answered some questions about her performance at the championships, questions about training, and thoughts about social media and her physical appearance.
Giulia Imperio is quickly becoming one of the most popular olympic weightlifters in the world, not only due to her great looks, but also thanks to her impressive results among the world’s best.
At the 2023 European Championships she missed her first two snatches, but ended up making her 3rd at 83kg, which was good enough for silver. She was solid throughout all clean and jerks and held on to 2nd place overall.
Although she took silver in the snatch, clean and jerk, and total she was not happy about her performance. Her answers are below:
What happened at the European Championships?
Giulia: “I need to pull myself together and find my confidence, because snatch is my exercise. I just need to be a little more confident in myself, because ultimately that’s what I do in the gym everyday. In the gym I usually lift 5kg-6kg more than in competitions. I just need to find my confidence again. “
What was your coach telling you to focus on specifically in your lifts today?
Giulia: “He was pointing to my upper glute and lower back to feel it better, and be more stable in the snatch catch position and recovery phases.”
How much time do you spend on social media?
Giulia: “I don’t surf too much on social media, but I try to spend time there with some purpose.”
What is your most popular content on social media?
Giulia: “Most likes and views I got from lifts, especially related to technique, as an example what we (Imperio and Torokhtiy) did as a collaboration on Instagram.”
Have you received any interesting offers from advertisers, companies, show business?
Giulia: “In Italy there are a lot of media companies that invite athletes to participate in different marketing activities, as soon as I get one interesting for me, you will see it.”
Do you often get recognized on the streets of Italy?
Giulia: “In the field of fitness and sport yes of course, in this audience I am well known.”
How much time do you spend on your appearance?
Giulia: “Honestly, not too much. Of course I do makeup when I go out or have any official or formal events, but in regular life I prefer a natural look. “
Which clothing brand do you prefer?
Giulia: “This style can be only for some big official events, opening ceremonies or gala dinners. In regular life I feel myself very comfortable with street style: wide or oversized jeans, Jordan sneakers, and so on.”
