Doston Yakubov won 2 gold and 1 silver medals at the World Cup!

At the World Weightlifting Championship in Tashkent, our team won the first medal. The hero of the day was our wrestler Doston Yakubov, who competed in the -67 kg weight category.

In the hoop exercise , Yakubov won a silver medal with 144 kg . And in the pull-up exercise, our compatriot fought for the gold medal with Colombian Francisco Mosquera and eventually won in two fights. These were the first medals for our national team at the World Championship in our country. In this weight category, Adhamjon Ergashev also led an irreconcilable struggle for medals in the snatch. But in the end, his luck turned against him.

World Weightlifting Championships, -67 kg:
1. Doston Yakubov (Uzbekistan) - 324 kg (144+180)
2. Francisco Mosquera (Colombia) - 316 kg (137+179)
