Young Algerian weightlifter Ahmed Sami Neamaoui secured four medals, including three gold and one silver, and established a new world record at the World Youth-Junior Weightlifting Championships. The event took place in Sun City, South Africa, according to an announcement from the Algerian Federation of Bodybuilding, Fitness and Powerlifting on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Neamaoui earned gold medals in the overall category, bench press, and deadlift. It was in the deadlift discipline where he set a new world record in the youth category. He also claimed a silver medal in the squat event, marking a successful international debut where he garnered four medals.<\/p>\n
The federation described this achievement as an honorable result for Algerian sport, underscoring the promising potential within national weightlifting at the youth level. This participation follows a strategic decision from 2022 to separate youth category competitions from the senior World Championships, aiming to develop young talent and provide emerging athletes with opportunities to compete globally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
