'Man From Mars' Karlos Nasar Wins Olympic Weightlifting Gold With New World Record
Bulgarian Karlos Nasar became the lightest man to lift 400 kilogrammes in competition as he shattered the men's 89kg weightlifting world record at the Olympics on Friday. "The Olympic Games are like going into space for me and I feel like I'm on Mars," said the 20-year-old Nasar. Tied for first after lifting 180kg in the opening snatch round, the 20-year-old delayed his entry in the clean and jerk until most of his rivals had used their three attempts at lower weights.
