Maude Charron had been dominant all night, and this was the last lift for gold. “It really felt like getting a little bit of my medal today,” Girard said from Gatineau, Que. “They write to me, they call me, they always have the right words to say.”But they couldn’t be, so Weightlifting Canada officials shouted for her instead. Girard awarded Charron the gold medal at one of her first national titles, and the young lady was star-struck. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, that’s Christine Girard.’ And I’m still, ‘Oh my god, that’s Christine Girard talking to me,’ ” Charron said.
