Seventeen-year-old weightlifter Enkileda Carja continues to make Albania proud.

After her triumph at the European Youth Championships in Durrës, where she won three gold medals, Carja shone again at the Islamic Solidarity Games. This time, she won two silver medals and set two world records.

Competing in the 63 kg category, Carja lifted 97 kg in the snatch and 116 kg in the clean and jerk—both new world records for juniors.

Earlier, at the end of October, she dominated the European Weightlifting Championships in Durrës. There, she broke six European records and claimed three gold medals.

Carja set three European records in the snatch (95 kg, 97 kg, and 98 kg) and won gold in the 63 kg category. She also set three more records in the clean and jerk (113 kg, 116 kg, and 118 kg), securing gold in that event and in the total.

This latest success confirms Carja’s exceptional talent and strengthens Albania’s position on the international weightlifting stage.
