World Record: Yakubu Adesokan Wins Gold In Paralympics Powerlifting.
Nigeria’s Yakubu Adesokan twice broke his own world record yesterday as he romped to power lifting gold at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. The 33-year-old came into London 2012 as overriding favourite for glory in the men’s -48kg class, having taken the world record earlier this year in Dubai with a lift of 177kg.
Adesokan lived up to his billing yesterday afternoon as he broke countryman Ruel Ishaku’s Paralympics record of 169kg from Beijing by three kilos in his first lift. God Bless You Yakubu.
