At the 2024 IWF Weightlifting World Cup Antonino Pizzolato Won Bronze in the Clean & Jerk in the Men’s 89 kg Category

The IWF World Cup in Thailand is the last chance for athletes to qualify for the Olympic Games later on in the summer.

As the event is of monumental importance for the weightlifting world, we expect many memorable performances, and what we saw unfold during the men’s 89 kg category completely lived up to our expectations. 

For the runner-up of the European Championships, Antonino Pizzolato, the competition day didn’t get off to the best start as he lifted 170 kg on the Snatch, which gave him a fifth-place finish.

Thankfully, he improved on the Clean & Jerk, as he managed to get 210 kg on his second attempt, which won him the bronze medal for the event. Unfortunately, his total of 390 kg meant he was left just outside the podium spots in 4th place. 

Pizzolato has 3 European titles to his name and a bronze medal from the Olympic Games in Tokyo. So far this year, he has shown good results and is definitely in contention for the podium in Paris.
