Mirabai Chanu
Former world champion Mirabai Chanu made a splendid return to the weightlifting arena, setting a new world record in clean and jerk while also bettering her own national record en route winning a bronze medal at the Asian Championship in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on Saturday.
Chanu also confirmed her Tokyo Olympic spot as she has now competed in the six mandatory qualifying events.
The 26-year-old Indian lifted 86kg in snatch and a world record of 119kg in clean and jerk for a total of 205kg.
Marcello Ferri (Italy) held a 100 kg (220.46 lb) weighted deadlift for an eye-watering 6 min 3 sec, achieving the record for the
longest duration deadlift with a 100 kg weight in his hometown of Pesaro, Italy, on 19 July 2020.
Marcello first broke this record in July 2019 with a time of 2 min 7.45 sec, going on to better his time to almost four minutes (3 min 42.37 sec) in February 2020.
That means he s more than doubled his own record since first breaking it less than two years ago.
No stranger to heavy lifting, multi-record title holder Marcello decided to attempt this record to prove that eating meat is not always synonymous with achieving weightlifting goals.
