Rosina Randafiarison (born 29 December 1999)[1] is a weightlifter from Madagascar. She won gold medals at the 5th International Solidarity Championships in 2018, the 2019 African Weightlifting Championships, the 2019 African Games and the 2019 African Junior Championships.[1]
Her snatch and total lifts at the 2019 African Championship were recognised as Junior Women's African Records.[2][3]
The last opportunity for Madagascar to ensure the qualification of its weightlifters for the Tokyo Olympics was at the African Championship Zone 3 (South Zone for juniors) event in November 2019. Jean Alex Harinelina Randriamanarivo, the President of the Madagascan weightlifting Federation (Fédération Malgache d’Haltérophilie, de musculation et culturisme) identified Randafiarison as a key part of the team.[4][5] At the 2019 African Games, Randafiarison won the gold.[6]
Randafiarison won a total of 16 continental and regional gold medals in 2019.[7]
