The megastar in Bulgarian sport Carlos Nassar enters the battle for history today, reported FOCUS.
The 20-year-old barbell mega-talent goes out today to win the world title in the 89 kg category at the World Championships in Bahrain.
In the current year 2024, Nassar lifted the European title, and in Paris he also took the Olympic gold in this division.
A new one, but from the World, he will be the only Bulgarian who won the three biggest competitions in a given sport in one calendar year.
Even our legendary athletes Stefka Kostadinova (athletics), Valentin Yordanov (wrestling) and Boyan Radev (wrestling) did not win world and Olympic gold in one year, let alone a European one.
The race with the participation of Nassar starts at 19:00 Bulgarian time.
Carlos Nassar has the first request in his category - 390 kg fight. Second is the North Korean Ryol Kwan Roh (380 kg).
The young Chinese Yun Hua Pan has a third request - 371 kg fight.
