Onyinyechi shattered her previous world record to set a stunning new world record in the 61kg Para-Powerlifting to give Nigeria her gold medal at ongoing Paris Paralympic in Paris, France.

The Paralympic gold medalist lifted an astonishing 147kg, before further pushing the bar to 150kg, a feat that has solidified her position as the dominant force in the sport.

In a congratulatory message, Senator Enoh hailed Mark’s historic achievement, “This performance is nothing short of phenomenal. Today, you hoisted the flag of our great nation at the ongoing Paralympics, having won Nigeria’s first Olympic Gold medal at the Games.

“Not only did you lift 147kg to break the Paralympics record and win a Gold Medal, you took a challenge given to you, lifted 150kg to set a new world record.”
