Angelina Berva has stormed to victory at the Official Strongman European Championships.  She won the 82 kg category with some devastating performances of vegan power.

  • She completed eight deadlift reps of a 210 kg deadlift, winning that event.
  • Only two of the ten completed a clean & press of the 90 kg lop, Angelina did three to come second.
  • She won the sandbag toss.
  • Angeline completed the 260 kg yoke to take fourth
  • Last was the sandbag steeplechase, finishing third to win overall by 7.5 points.

Sponsors Cerberus Strength said “Angeline just showed the world who is the absolute strongest in Europe U82 division!

We are beyond PROUD of you Ange!”

 

The competition was organised by Official Strongman, the world’s leading strongman federation.  They are behind World’s Strongest Man and Giant’s Live, and past competitors for both were competing at the games.

Angelina is a four time France’s Strongest Woman and is world champion at both Extinct Games and Static Monsters.

Vegan Power

Angelina has been vegan since 2011 (aged 17) and all her achievements have been since then.

“I built my physique and my performance while being vegan. Many think that the two are incompatible – not at all. You can very well be vegan and reach a high level.”

“I have always loved animals and have always had pets. I have always been concerned about animal welfare. And I no longer found it normal to say that I loved animals even though I ate them. I watched a lot of l214 videos on breeding and slaughter conditions and I told myself that I couldn’t support that and that we therefore had to boycott this system.”
