Paris 2024 | Para powerlifting preview: The ones to watch on day two




Four Paralympic champions will be crowned – two in afternoon followed by two more in the evening – on the day two of Para Powerlifting competition at the La Chapelle Arena on 5 September.


Here you can find the complete schedule and the main stars to follow on day two in Paris. 





The Champions

The women's up to 50kg final will open the second day’s action with thrilling action on the cards. 

Great Britain’s reigning world champion Olivia Broome looks strong to take the gold on paper but the emergence of new stars at recent World Cups should kick off an exciting contest. Broome is also the Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist.

At Tbilisi, China’s Jinping Xiao set a new Asian record with an effort 123 kg, while Bose Bejide displayed a strong show too. China’s Hu Dandan and world record holder Esther Oyema of Nigeria (131kg) will be missing out.

Next up will be the men's up to 59kg final. China’s Qi Yongkai will be the man to beat in the category. He is the defending Paralympic and world champion. 

Among others aiming to put up a powerful show will be Al Salvador's Tokyo 2020 and Dubai 2023 Worlds medallist Herbert Aceituno and Iran's Mohsen Bakhtiar after his commanding show this season.

The world record in the category is also held by Egyptian Osman (211kg) since Rio 2016







Evening Stars

The evening session will start with the women's up to 55kg featuring Rehab Ahmed of Egypt. In-form Ahmed is the current world champion and the world record holder (135kg). She is also a silver medallist at the Tokyo 2020 Games in the lower weight category (-50kg).

The men's up to 65kg final will be the final event of the day with China’s Zou Yi looking strong after his recent effort on the bench. Yi is the reigning world champion and world record holder (222kg). 

But watch out for Iran’s Amir Jafari Arangeh who will be eager to turn his Tokyo 2020 silver into gold. He is also the Dubai 2023 World silver

The first couple of sessions saw India's pace contenders attract early attention. Under overcast conditions and on a pitch with a green tinge, both Khaleel Ahmed and Akash Deep got some movement that had Yashasvi Jaiswal go threw a few nervy plays and misses. Although, along with Avesh Khan, the pace trio clocked only in the 130kph mark, the discipline in lines made the going tough for the batters. Akash Deep's first spell read 8-3-11-0 while Avesh Khan's read ...
