Olympic, world and European champion Karlos Nasar will take to the podium on Thursday at the World Weightlifting Championships in Forde, Norway, competing for gold in his new 94kg category.
Victory would earn Nasar his third world title in three different weight classes. He previously won gold in the 81 kg category in Tashkent in 2021 and in the 89 kg category in Manama in 2024. If he is successful, he will become the 12th Bulgarian to claim three world weightlifting titles.
His main rival is expected to be Kianoush Rostami, an Iranian-born weightlifter representing Kosovo.
“I am well prepared — I will give everything I have and do my utmost to see the Bulgarian flag at the top, where it belongs,” said Nasar ahead of his departure for Forde.
