Analysis narrative

The airplane weathervaned into the wind during the landing roll following a downwind landing. The student pilot added power to abort the landing. During the initial climb the airplane was headed toward a powerline and the pilot turned to the right. There was insufficient airspeed to sustain flight during the turn and the right wing impacted the ground. The airplane came to rest in an inverted position. The pilot reported the winds from 240 degrees at 25 knots gusting to 35 knots.
