Irans weightlifting world champion Behdad Salimi[/caption]TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iranian super heavyweight lifter Behdad Salimi said that he is unhappy to win a silver medal in the 2014 World Weightlifting Championships.
On Sunday, the Iranian strongman won a silver medal with a total of 457kg, comprising a 206kg snatch lift and a 251kg clean and jerk.
I dont feel good about winning the silver medal. Since 2009, I had won gold medal in every competition I took part and its incredible that I could not win a gold medal in Kazakhstan, Salimi said in the post match news conference.
After the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, I could not train well and I was not 100 percent fit in the World Championships, he added.
I think Roslan Albegov deserved to win the gold and I am sorry I could not win the gold, 2012 Olympic gold medalist said.
