Carlos May Nasar became the Olympic weightlifting champion with a lift of 89kg and broke the world record with a total lift of 404kg. France’s Romain Imadouchène suffered a knee injury and finished ninth.
In the 89 kg weightlifting competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Colombian Jessen Lopez, the world record holder before the start of the competition at the Arena Sud in Paris, was defeated this Friday afternoon! Indeed, in what way Carlos May Nasar of Bulgaria won the title of Olympic champion! The reigning European double champion also broke the Colombian record with a total lift of 404kg, a snatch of 180kg and a clean and jerk of 224kg. If we want to be more precise, the 20-year-old broke Lopez’s records in both total and clean and jerk, since no one before him could lift such a heavy weight.
Behind the new Olympic champion, we have the undeniably disappointing Yesan Lopez. The Colombian, who was neck and neck with the Bulgarian in the first snatch exercise, lifted 180 kilograms in the second attempt, but “only” lifted 210 kilograms, enough to reach a total weight of 390 kilograms.
Imadouchene disappointed but satisfied
Italian player Antonino Pizzolatto won the bronze medal behind the two behemoths with a total lift of 384 kg, snatch 172 kg, and clean and jerk 212 kg. Unfortunately, the tricolor player Romain Imadouchène, who was a little behind, was troubled by a left knee injury for some time and was unable to express himself normally. In the second attempt of two exercises, the Frenchman reached 155 kg in the snatch and 196 kg in the clean and jerk, which were too low to take some place in the rankings, but this did not affect his Satisfaction. “The result is disappointing, but I think I have done my job,” the athlete admitted to French television. Thanks to the public, I was not eliminated from this competition. I felt the energy and despite the pain, I made it to the end. It’s been 15 days since I had pain in my knee after training, two nerves were damaged and the pain was terrible. I didn’t get the medal I had hoped for, but thanks to the public, I got the Heart Medal. I wanted to get ranked and I succeeded. »
