Iranian heavyweight weightlifter Mohammad Reza Barari is dreaming of winning Olympic gold medal.
Barari claimed a gold at the 2016 Asian Weightlifting Championships on Saturday.
In the 105kg weight category, Barari claimed a gold medal with a total of 401kg.
“I am back after many years and could snatch a gold medal in the Asian championships. I could participate in the IWF Houston World Weightlifting Championships 2015 but was not invited to the team due to some reasons,” Barari said.
“I am so happy since I made the Iranian people happy and I want to make them happy once again this time in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games,” he added.
