As we are nearing the final days of the competition, it’s time for the heavyweight categories to begin, and thankfully, the men’s 102 kg didn’t disappoint.
One big surprise during the men’s 102 kg category was Davranbek Hasanbayev’s win in the Snatch event.

The athlete from B Group, who represents Turkmenistan started the competition very well, lifting 187 kg on his final Snatch attempt, which gave him the gold medal for the lift and put him in a great position for a podium finish.
Unfortunately, his performance during the Clean & Jerk was nowhere near as memorable, as Hasanbayev managed to lift only 205 kg, which left him outside of the top 10 overall for this lift and destroyed his chances of medaling in the overall ranking for the category. He ended up finishing fifth overall with a total of 392 kg.
So far in his career, Hasanbayev hasn’t won any major competitions and is still looking to make an impact on the world stage. Given that fact, his performance during this IWF World Cup is nothing short of surprising.
