World Record: Yakubu Adesokan Wins Gold In Paralympics Powerlifting.
Friday, August 31, 2012Omoba
Nigeria’s Yakubu Adesokan twice broke his own world
record yesterday as he romped to power lifting gold at the London 2012
Paralympic Games. The 33-year-old came into London 2012 as overriding favourite
for glory in the men’s -48kg class, having taken the world record earlier this
year in Dubai with a lift of 177kg.
Adesokan lived up to his billing yesterday
afternoon as he broke countryman Ruel Ishaku’s Paralympics record of 169kg from
Beijing by three kilos in his first lift. God Bless You Yakubu.
