Jessica Edge (picture) is the first weightlifter to obtain the MQS set by the Maltese Olympic Committee to represent Malta in the 53kg category at this summer’s Commonwealth Games. In a qualification competition held recently, Australia-based Edge, 26, lifted a total of 146kg that guaranteed her a place in the team. Other Malta Weightlifting Association members are eyeing qualification to Glasgow and some of them will attempt to reach their goal at international competitions later this month.
