Habibullah lifted 145kg in the deadlift competition to win the gold medal. He also performed well in the bench press event, where he finished second with a 60kg attempt, losing his first spot to Bulgaria’s Valeri Marinov in the M19 division.
His other silver medal was confirmed in the squat event in which he lifted 95kgs along with one in the Combined Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift event.
