The reflection of the masterpiece of the Iranian giant in the most prestigious media in the world.
The news website within the games, in reporting on the super heavy weightlifting competition of the 2026 World Championships, noticed the brilliance of Alireza Yousfi and Ali Daboudi and considered the breaking of the historical record of the Iranian representative as one of the most important events in this competition.
In its narrative of the heavy competition of the world's weightlifting giants, this media pointed to the performance of Ali Dawoodi, who won the bronze medal in the 206 kg weightlifting in one stroke. Alireza Youssi also reached fourth place by registering 195 kg in this movement to double his medal fate.
This website continued Yousef's brilliant performance in pairs and wrote that the Iranian weightlifter, after lifting 253 kg, lifted 258 kg in the second attempt, but the judges did not accept his move due to the detection of a deliberate swing. This decision was accompanied by dissatisfaction of Yousef and the Iranian team; Because they believed that the movement of the bar would oscillate without the deliberate intervention of the weightlifter.
Despite this incident, Yousfi did not give up and in his last attempt he mastered a weight of 263 kg to break the double world record. This spectacular move put him in second place overall with a total of 458 kg and earned Iran a double gold medal and a silver medal overall.
