Sharofiddin Amriddinov Hits 220 kg Clean & Jerk PR – Even Though He Won’t Be At Worlds 2025

The IWF Worlds 2025 Without A Rising Contender

The 2025 Weightlifting World Championships are just around the corner, and the excitement is building as athletes finalize their preparation. Fans of the sport eagerly anticipate new records, fierce rivalries, and unforgettable battles on the platform. 

But not every lifter who makes headlines in training will appear in the competition hall. One of them is Uzbekistan’s Sharofiddin Amriddinov, who recently made waves with a huge personal best in training yet will not be competing in the upcoming Worlds.

The absence of Amriddinov in the lineup is notable, especially given his latest performance. While the championship will showcase the very best lifters across categories, the Uzbek athlete’s lift serves as a reminder of just how deep the field of world-class talent runs beyond the official start list.

Amriddinov’s Training Statement: 220 kg Clean & Jerk

Sharofiddin Amriddinov recently shared a stunning training performance: a 220 kg clean & jerk, his personal best to date. The lift, posted on his Instagram video here, demonstrates not only his raw strength but also his improving consistency in the movement. 

For context, Amriddinov had already made waves at the 2024 Worlds, where he earned the snatch gold medal in the 110 kg category.

A 220 kg clean & jerk puts him right into the competitive mix among the top lifters of his class. While it is not yet at the level of Ruslan Nurudinov’s 242 kg world record from 2024, it shows a sharp upward trajectory. If he had been part of the IWF Championships 2025 roster, this lift would have positioned him as a legitimate podium contender.

What Could Have Been In The 110 kg Battle

The 110 kg division is shaping up to be one of the most exciting categories at the Weightlifting World Championships 2025. With big names like Ruslan Nurudinov and DJURAEV Akbar setting monster clean & jerks in recent competitions, the stage is set for another showdown of titans. 

Amriddinov’s training PR indicates he could have been right in the mix, especially when combined with his proven snatch ability.

Even though he won’t appear on the platform this year, his performance offers fans a glimpse of what might come in the near future. His lifting trajectory suggests that when he returns to the international stage, he may be capable of pushing the boundaries of both the snatch and clean & jerk totals.

Looking Ahead

It’s always a bit of a letdown for fans when a lifter in form doesn’t appear at Worlds, but Amriddinov’s 220 kg lift is still a highlight in the lead-up to the event. 

For now, his progress will be followed through training videos and future competitions, and many will wonder what he might have achieved had he lined up alongside the best in Houston.

The World Weightlifting Championships 2025 will still deliver thrilling battles, but Amriddinov’s recent PR adds another story: sometimes the biggest lifts happen away from the stage. And sometimes they signal the beginning of even greater things to come.
