07 Oct 2024
 

Young Odisha lifters Harsbardhan Sahu and Jyoshna Sabar won one gold medal each in the youth category of the IWLF National Youth, Junior & Senior Weightlifting Championship, which commenced at Rainbow International School in Nagrata Bagwan, Himachal Pradesh today.

Berhampur lifter Harsabardhan claimed the gold in boys 49kg weight class, lifting 85kg in snatch and 110kg in clean & jerk for a total of 195kg. This was the second National medal for Harsabardhan, who had secured bronze in the same weight category at the previous National championship in Arunachal Pradesh last year.

The 15-year-old Harsabardhan, who started lifting weights at Sri Sankar Physical & Cultural Club in Berhampur, under the guidance of coach Jeetendra Kumar Sahu, now trains at Army Sports Institute in Pun.

 

Jyoshna captured the gold in girls 40kg category with efforts of 56kg in snatch, 64kg in clean & jerk and 120kg in total. A trainee of Bhubaneswar-based Odisha Weightlifting HPC, Jyoshna, in fact, clinched a glorious hat-trick, bagging the youth 40kg gold medal for the third successive time in the National championships.

A 16-year-old tribal lifter from Gajapati district, Jyoshna also has the reputation of winning two gold, two silver and three bronze medals in various international competitions so far.

Odisha Weightlifting Association has fielded a 38-member State squad, including 19 women in the week-long National championship, which is being hosted by Himachal Pradesh Weightlifting Association, under the aegis of Indian Weightlifting Federation.
