Mohamed Al-Sharif Zentani has etched his name into African weightlifting history with a commanding performance at the Youth and Junior African Championships in Ghana.
Competing in the 79kg category, the Libyan athlete shattered three continental records in the youth division: lifting 155kg in the snatch, 184kg in the clean and jerk, and achieving a combined total of 339kg.
Zentani’s dominance didn’t stop there. He replicated the same numbers in the senior category, breaking the African records for both the snatch and total lift, an extraordinary feat that assured his rising stature in the sport.
