Olympic gold medalist Karlos Nasar achieved another phenomenal result in his career. He became European champion in his new weight category – up to 96 kg – setting two world records in the process.

In the snatch, Karlos Nasar set a world record by lifting 188 kg. He opened with 174 kg, then moved on to 180 kg, which he lifted with ease.
