Bulgarian Karlos Nasar won the world title in the men's 89 kg category at the 2024 World Weightlifting Championship in Manama. Nasar set two world records. 183 kg in the snatch and 405 kg in the total. Karlos Nasar also tried to better his world record in the clean and jerk but failed at 225 kg.

Nasar started with a record in the snatch event, lifting 183 kg and breaking the previous record by 1 kg, which was held by Colombian Yeison Lopez. He set a new world record in the total after his second clean and jerk attempt, where he lifted 222 kg. Thus, he bettered his own world record of 404 kg in the total, set at the Paris Olympics. With his victory in Manama, the 20-year-old Nasar became the first Bulgarian weightlifter to win the European, World and Olympic titles in one calendar year.
