Emily sets new records with MasterChef auditions this month
British weightlifter Emily Campbell put on a masterclass performance, lifting a new Commonwealth Games record of 278kg in the women's +86kg contest at the Jakarta 2026 event. The double Olympic medallist wasn't just satisfied with her gold medal or even a world record; she aimed higher and got there. Her clean and jerk weight was an impressive 163kg, securing her victory.
According to reporting by The Guardian - Sport, Campbell is also gearing up for her next challenge: she will be appearing on Celebrity MasterChef(), scheduled for March 2023. This unique experience has already proven more nerve-racking than the weightlifting final.
Weightlifting Dominance and Future Plans
Rising from her incredible performance, Campbell is now thinking about whether she will pursue a third Olympic medal at the LA Games in 2028.
