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]
