The wonder of the world in weightlifting: I respect the Iranians; They fight in tough conditions Carlos Nassar, the 22-year-old weightlifting champion of Bulgaria, said after winning his fourth world gold: I have a lot of respect for my competitors, especially the Iranians who have been through tough conditions. As far as I know, Ali Alipour's brother passed away recently. The Iranians had their own difficulties. For five months, videos were published showing that I was done and I had no chance against them; That's why I decided to prove it wrong. I can still lift heavier weights. My dream is to win four Olympic gold medals, and I hope to achieve that by staying healthy.
