THIRD PARALYMPIC GOLD FOR JORDAN!
Aug 30, 2021
Jordan’s incredible run at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games has continued with a third gold medal.
With two Powerlifting golds and a Table Tennis bronze already in the bag, Jamil El Shebli made it a hat-trick of Powerlifting golds by winning the 107kg category.
The 42-year-old lifted 241kg to take top spot from Iran’s Mansour Pourmirzaei.
He follows the heroics of teammates AbdelKareem Khatab and Omar Karada who reached the top step of the podium earlier in the Games. Khetam Abu Awad’s table tennis bronze takes Jordan’s medal haul to four and places them 23rd in the standings.
