Young Weightlifting Sensation Nehemiah Elders Sets ANOTHER Record
Written by Alex Elbourne on September 20, 2024
Fiji’s Young Male Athlete of the Year, Nehemiah Elder, has done it again. Last night, at the Vodafone Arena, Nehemiah shattered his own Oceania Youth snatch record of 125KG, which he set earlier this year at the Oceania Weightlifting Championships in New Zealand.
In a stunning display of strength and determination, Nehemiah lifted a massive 141KG on his third attempt. He started off strong with 135KG, narrowly missing 140KG on his second try, but recovered just minutes later to make history with his incredible 141KG lift.
What an amazing performance from one of Fiji’s finest athletes! Vinaka Nehemiah, you continue to make Fiji proud.
