Although he was unsuccessful in his third attempt at 173 kg, his impressive performance was enough to secure the gold medal and the world championship title.
Earlier in the competition, Iran’s Atieh Sadat Hosseini had also claimed a gold medal in the 61 kg category.
During the medal ceremony, as the Iranian national anthem was played, Saeid Mani stood at attention and gave a military-style salute, honoring his country on the top of the podium.
