A gold medalist in last year’s Asian Para Games, the Iranian registered a best lift of 250kg for the ultimate prize in the men’s +107kg event, while an overall tally of 741kg handed him the total gold of the weight class.
Ali-Akbar Gharibshahi had collected double golds for Iran in the 107kg contest, while Paralympic silver medalist Amir Ja’fari claimed the total gold in the men’s 65kg class.
Mohsen Bakhtiar, meanwhile, took the 59kg bronze.
More than 320 athletes from 71 countries took part at the competition in the Georgian capital, which also served as the final round of qualifiers for the Paris Paralympics later in the summer.
