After a record-breaking CWG performance, Nooh is aiming for the Olympic gold

Description:

Nooh Dastgir Butt, a weightlifter from Pakistan, has his sights set on the 2024 Olympics in Paris after winning gold for his nation in the current Commonwealth Games.

Nooh competed for Pakistan in the +109kg division and broke the Commonwealth Games records for the weight class late on Wednesday by snatching 173 kg and clean and jerking 232 kg.

Nooh, who spoke to Express from Birmingham, claimed that by helping Pakistan win the gold, he fulfilled his commitment.

This gold medal will inspire the nation"s aspiring weightlifters, too.
