The Junior World Weightlifting Championship is currently taking place in Lima, the capital of Peru, from May 22 to May 26. Around 280 athletes from 50 countries are participating in the tournament, and Turkmenistan has already made a mark for itself.

This is a remarkable achievement for the 16-year-old athlete, who is a student at the 104th secondary school of Ashgabat. Didarbek Jumabaev, competing in the weight category up to 67kg, also exhibited his strength and determination.
