Bulgaria’s Karlos Nasar claimed his fourth world weightlifting title in Ningbo, China, winning gold in the men’s 95kg category with world records: 185kg in the snatch and 230kg in the clean and jerk, with a total of 415kg.
Nasar set a new world record of 185kg in the snatch, taking the lead in his category after the first discipline at the 2026 World Weightlifting Championships. He was initially entered to lift 170kg, but the Bulgarian national team coaching staff raised his opening attempt to 175kg. He successfully cleared the weight without difficulty, getting off to a strong start in the snatch. The Olympic champion then successfully lifted 180kg in his second attempt. For his third and final attempt, Nasar called for 185kg, which he also managed to lift, setting a new world record and moving into first place in the standings. His performance secured Bulgaria’s first medal of the championships.
Kazakhstan’s Nurgissa Alidetuly was second after the snatch, having also successfully completed all three of his attempts. His first two lifts matched Nasar’s opening weights of 175kg and 180kg, while he successfully lifted 182kg in his third attempt. With that lift, Alidetuly set a new world record in the category, surpassing the previous mark of 181kg.
Iran’s Ali Alipour rounded out the top three in the snatch with a lift of 181kg. He also attempted to break the world record with 184kg but failed to keep the barbell overhead.
China’s Qian Feixiang, one of the main contenders for gold, managed just one successful lift in the snatch, clearing his opening weight of 172kg. He subsequently failed twice at 177kg, leaving him fifth in the standings after the first discipline.
President Iliana Iotova congratulated Nasar on winning his fourth world weightlifting title with three world records in the 95 kg category.
Prime Minister Rumen Radev also congratulated Karlos Nasar on winning the world weightlifting title at the championships in China and breaking three world records in a Facebook post.
“The achievements of Bulgarian athletes are proof that success is entirely possible when you have developed character and discipline and are dedicated to winning for Bulgaria!” the Prime Minister wrote.
