Black Cranes’ Richmond Osarfo has improved his total by 10kg at the just ended Africa Junior and Youth Championship in Kampala, Uganda.
He made a total of 330kg which was an improvement in the 320kg he made earlier last month at the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championship held in Gold Coast, Australia.
At the Africa Championship, he competed in the 105kg category and snatched 142kg, made 188kg for clean and jerk and finished with a total of 330kg.
He won three silver medals for each division.
The Kampala Championship also serves as the final qualifying tournament for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and this performance has certainly boosted Christian’s chances of representing Ghana at the Games.
The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) would present the final list of athletes who will be making it to the Gold Coast Games by October 31, 2017.
The Patrons and Executive Board Members of the Ghana Weightlifting Federation (GWF) congratulates Richmond Osarfo for his consistent performance in the sport and wish him the very best of luck in future competitions.
