Hosts Thailand maintained a narrow overall lead in their first home World Para Powerlifting World Cup after a second day of competition in Bangkok highlighted by a world record from Iran’s Roohallah Rostami.
The reigning world champion managed an effort of 241 kilograms in winning the men’s under-80kg title in the final competition of the day.
Silver went to Georgia’s Ahmad Razm Azar and bronze to home lifter Chinnaphop Khamdan.
That was one of six medals won on the day by the home nation, including one gold from Kamolpan Kraratpet in the women’s under-45kg class ahead of compatriot Nattathida Suchatpong.
