Nigeria’s Esther Nworgu has set a new Paralympic record in the women’s up to 41kg powerlifting event.

Nworgu lifted 112kg on her second attempt, momentarily putting her in the lead and showcasing her incredible power and skill on the global stage.

With one more attempt remaining, all eyes are on Nworgu as she seeks to surpass Cui’s lift and secure the gold medal.
