Kitakyushu 2018: Siamand Rahman delivers
Iranian comfortably wins the continental title and targets an attack on the world record.
Siamand Rahman may not have broken a record this time.
Still, his sole presence put him in the spotlight as he comfortably won the men’s over 107kg. On the final day (September 12) of competition at the Asia-Oceania Open Championships in Kitakyushu, Japan.
The world’s strongest Paralympian lifted 280 kg in his second round.
He then surprisingly failed his attempt at 285 kg. But the Iranian Ppowerlifter is not worried. His goal was to win the title and achieve qualification for Tokyo 2020, and he did.
“I will put my gold medal together with my others in my room,” Rahman said.
