Three gold medals brought Ulyanovsk athletes from powerlifting competitions in Istanbul

Three performances, three gold awards. With this result, representatives of the Ulyanovsk region completed the powerlifting competitions, which were held in Istanbul from September 22 to 27. The tournament was especially successful for Stepan Narodny: the athlete managed to win in two disciplines at once.

The first gold Ulyanovsk won in the press, where he showed the result of 240 kilograms. The athlete did not stop there and went to the platform already in the discipline of “classic press”. Here, 190 kilograms were submitted to Narodny, which earned him another gold medal.

Thus, only Stepan Narodny replenished the piggy bank of the Ulyanovsk team with two awards of the highest standard. However, without the third gold, representatives of the region also did not remain.

Another victory was won by Andrei Talco. He won the gold medal of the Asian Championship in classic press, fixing the result of 212.5 kilograms.

As a result, two Ulyanovsk athletes won three gold medals at the competition. All awards were received in press disciplines, and each of the winning results exceeded the mark of 190 kilograms.

The Asian Championships were held in Istanbul from 22 to 27 September and brought together athletes of different age categories. Participants competed in the disciplines of “press” and “classical press”.

The performance of Ulyanovsk athletes was prepared by coach M.I. Rafikov. The result of this work was the first three places and the successful performance of representatives of the region on the international platform.
