Ertjan Kofsha, representing Albania, finished the Senior World Weightlifting Championships with a new European record in the snatch for the up-to-94 kg category. The competition took place in Forde, Norway, where Kofsha competed in Group C.

With a spectacular lift of 161 kg in the snatch, Kofsha set a new European benchmark. This achievement highlights his talent, dedication, and the hard work of a young athlete rising rapidly in the world of weightlifting.

In the clean and jerk, Kofsha did not complete a successful lift. As a result, he did not qualify for the total (two-lift) ranking.

Despite this, his record in the snatch marks a historic milestone for Albanian weightlifting. The performance confirms Albania’s growing presence on the international stage.
