Thomas Lister Yule (born 15 March 1976)[1] is a male former weightlifter.
Born in South Africa, he represented Great Britain at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.[2]
He represented England and won three silver medals in the 105 kg category, at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[3][4] The three medals were won during an unusual period when three medals were awarded in one category (clean and jerk, snatch and combined) which invariably led to the same athlete winning all three of the same colour medal.[5]
Yule then twice claimed a bronze medal for Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in 2002 and 2006.[1]
