Career

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]
