Bulgaria's Karlos Nasar set a new world record on his first major return to the podium after a serious injury earlier this year. The Bulgarian weightlifter triumphed in the 89 kg category at the World Weightlifting Cup in Doha. Nasar set the record with a 393 kg total.
Dubbed Bulgaria's prodigy, 19-year-old Nаsar started successfully in the snatch with 165 and 170 kg, failing only at the last weight of 175 kg.
In the clean and jerk, he successively overcame 205 and 211 kg, then confidently lifted 223 kg. Thus, he recorded world records for men and for juniors up to 20 years old.
