Nikita Abdrakhmanov was 27 kilograms clear of his nearest rival after the snatch and 64kg clear on total in the men’s 102kg.

In the other medal event of the day, the women’s 81kg, Shams Mohamed Ahmed from Egypt set a world record on total when she made 103-129-232.

Ahmed and second-placed Mariam Murgvliani from Georgia both made six from six and third-placed Emma Poghosyan of Armenia failed only with her final attempt.

Murgvliani made 102-127-229 and Poghosyan 98-123-221.

Abdrakhmanov’s sweep of golds took Kazakhstan to the top of the medals table - which features 30 of the 57 nations competing here - with one day to go.

When he watched a master class display of weightlifting in his home city of Shakhtinsk eight years ago Abdrakhmanov was captivated.

He asked his mother to take him to a club and soon knew that he had found not only his sport but his future career.

"This is all I want to do, I love it," Abdrakhmanov said.

His 164-205-369 earned a second straight youth world title for Abdrakhmanov, who made six from six in a performance worth 407 Sinclair points, the highest score of the week in the across-the-weights rating system.

Abdrakhmanov’s total would place him 17th in the Olympic rankings, where Artyom Antropov is the best Kazakhstan lifter at 102kg, in seventh place with a 385kg total.

"I can lift that much in training," said Abdrakhmanov.

The Georgian Saba Adamia had a sweep of silvers on 137-168-305, and Marcin Ziolkowski from Poland was third on total with 136-166-302.
