Career
At the 2007 World Championships, she ranked sixth in the 75 kg category with a total of 240 kg.[5]
At the 2013 World Championships, she won bronze in the snatch and placed fourth in the total, being promoted to silver and bronze respectively when Olga Zubova was disqualified for failing a doping test.[6][7] In 2017, Lidia won the World Weightlifting Championship held in Anaheim, United States.[2]
Valentín competed at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, finishing in fifth and fourth place respectively.[8][9]
In 2016, after retesting of the samples from the 75 kg category at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, it was discovered that two of the 2008 and all three of the 2012 medalists had tested positive for prohibited substances: all five were subsequently disqualified, meaning that Valentin became silver medalist in 2008 and the Olympic Champion in 2012.[10]
While waiting for confirmation of these medals, Valentín competed in the 2016 Olympics, where she lifted a total of 257 kg and won the bronze medal. It was, at the time, Spain's first medal ever in weightlifting (retrospectively third).[11]
At the European Championships, she won four gold medals for the total in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018 three silver medals (in 2008, 2012 and 2013) and three bronze medals (in 2007, 2009 and 2011), with three gold and four silver medals in the snatch, and two gold, one silver and five bronze medals in the clean and jerk.[5]
