Indonesian weightlifting sensation Rizki Juniansyah turned setbacks into triumph at the IWF World Championships, snatching victory from a nail-biting showdown in the newly minted 79kg category! 💪 Despite two failed snatch attempts, the Olympic champ rallied with a record-shattering 204kg clean & jerk – breaking a world mark set just hours earlier by teammate Rahmat Erwin. 🏅
The drama unfolded like a sports anime climax: Juniansyah trailed behind the DPRK's Ri Chong Song and Egypt's Abdelrahman Younes after the snatch round. But when the barbell hit 204kg? Cue the victory music 🎶 – his Herculean lift secured two golds (clean & jerk + total) and left rivals just 1kg behind in overall totals!
China's rising star Ning Gan, 17, also made waves with a 157kg snatch debut. But this was Juniansyah's night – proving even champs can stumble before soaring higher than ever 🌟. Who needs three attempts when one historic lift does the trick?
