National weightlifter Ziarul Islam admitted that they are far behind compared to their foreign competitors in terms of facilities and it made them fail incessantly during the international meets.
Ziarul, who recently broke the national record in the men’s 102kg event by lifting a total of 262kg during the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Games and won the gold medal as well, lifted 264kg (123kg snatch + 141kg clean and jerk) in Asian Weightlifting Championship in Uzbekistan last month.
Despite his career-best performance, Ziarul failed to make an impact during the meet as he finished last (ninth out of nine competitors) in the event.
