Adesokan Wins Gold at IPC Powerlifting World Championships



Nigeria’s Yakubu Adesokan beat off a sustained challenge from Vietnam’s Van Cong Le in what was considered as an incredibly tense men’s -49kg, which saw the world record fall three times at the IPP Powerlifting World Championships in Dubai.yakubu_adesokan_gold_medalist

The gold medal looked to be Le’s after the 29 year-old broke Adesokan’s world record with a lift of 177kg in the second round, and improved it further still with a 180kg lift in the third round.
