And he adds:

During the competition, Eryk took on a difficult challenge, competing against peers in an older age group. It is worth noting that Eryk was only 14 years old at the time of the competition, making his achievement even more noteworthy. Competing against participants two years older confirms not only his determination, but also his strength, skills and talent.

Eryk’s results:

  • first attempt: 100 kg,
  • second attempt: 107.5 kg,
  • third attempt: 110 kg (unfortunately unsuccessful).

We congratulate our athlete and wish him further success.
