Lasha Talakhadze 2021 Iwf World Championships

Lasha Talakhadze came to the 2021 International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Championships, held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on December 17th, 2021, as a favorite to win gold in the 109+ kg division. However, Lasha did not just win the competition, he set three new world records in both snatch, clean & jerk, and total, after successfully doing all 6 attempts.

Lasha already had all the records under his name, but he managed to further improve all three of them. This time, Lasha will go home with his fifth World Championships gold medal.

  • Snatch: 225 kilograms (496 pounds) – World Record
  • Clean & Jerk: 267 kilograms (588.6 pounds) – World Record

Lasha Talakhadze’s Career

Lasha Talakhadze is a weightlifting super heavyweight who has won it all. He is the 5x world super heavyweight champion, 5x European super heavyweight champion, and a 2x Olympic champion. And now he holds every world record in the history of the super heavyweight category. Lasha’s 267-kilogram (588.6 pounds) clean & jerk surpassed Leonid Taranenko‘s 266-kilogram (286.4-pound) lift in the +110-kilogram class, who won gold in the 1980 Olympic Games.

At 28-years-old, Lasha Talakhadze still has some time left, even though he accomplished everything. It looks like he only competes against himself, and maybe Lasha could be the first person to get a 500 kg (1102.3 lbs) total, as he only needs to add 8 kg (17.6 lbs) to do it.
