Nasar targets fourth European title in Batumi

Karlos Nasar, Bulgaria’s leading weightlifter, will compete for a fourth European men’s title at the European Weightlifting Championships in Batumi, Georgia, lifting in the 94 kg category.

This will be the 21-year-old’s second time competing at a major event in the division, following his gold medal win at the 2025 World Championships in Forde.

He has also won continental titles in Yerevan (2023) and Sofia (2024) in the 89 kg category, and in Chișinău (2025) in the 96 kg category.

On 22 April, Nasar was named Europe’s Weightlifter of the Year for a second time at a ceremony in Batumi, an award presented by the European Weightlifting Federation and the International Sports Press Association (AIPS).
