”Gerta Suli has a particularly interesting background. She was born on 3rd May 1985 in Tirana. Her trainer is Argron Suli. The very fashionable lifter came fourth at the Senior European Championships 2004 and sixth at the Junior European Championships 2005. She also travelled to the Junior European Championships 2001 in Swedish Kalmar, but was not allowed to start as she decided just prior to the competition to stay in Sweden. She then lifted for two years for Helsingborks AK, was also Swedish champion in 2003. Now she has returned to her home country. We will surely hear more about her, as almost all young Albanian lifters, in the next few years.”
