Bonnie on top of the world again. [Newspaper] (2021)
Abstract
KUALA LUMPUR: Tokyo Paralympics champion Bonnie Bunyau Gustin produced another outstanding effort to retain his status as world champion at the World Para Powerlifting Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia yesterday. The 22-year-old Sarawakian was dominant in the men's 72kg category right from the beginning, after successfully lifting 200kgs in the first attempt, before securing the world crown with a 210kg lift in the biennial tournament. Though the lift was lighter than his world record of 230kg set at the 2021 World Cup in June, Bonnie Bunyau still can be proud to have surpassed his World Championship mark, after winning the 2019 title with a 207kg lift in the 65kg category. Bonnie Bunyau clinched the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics gold with a record-breaking feat of 228kg lift in August this year.
