Posted : 18 October 2025

Nigeria’s Folashade Oluwafemiayo set a new African and world record in the women’s over 86kg category.

Nigeria’s para powerlifting star, Folashade Oluwafemiayo, has once again cemented her place in history by setting a new African and world record at the 2025 World Para Powerlifting Championships in Cairo, Egypt.

The four-time world champion amazed spectators by lifting an impressive 168kg in the women’s over 86kg category, surpassing her previous world record and claiming double gold in both the total lift and best lift events. Oluwafemiayo, who also won gold at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, has now extended her world title streak to four, continually raising the standard for excellence in the sport.

In a fiercely contested competition, Wenjun of China secured the silver medal with a total lift of 157kg, while Nikoo Rozbahani of Iran earned bronze with 152kg. Overjoyed by her record-breaking performance, Oluwafemiayo expressed her gratitude to her coaches, teammates, the Weightlifting Federation, and the Nigerian Sports Commission for their unwavering support.
