Kenyan para-powerlifter Hellen Kauru won a gold medal at the World Para Powerlifting World Cup event in Tbilisi, Georgia. Kauru, competing in the up to 86kg category, lifted a personal best weight to secure the top spot on the podium. Her victory was a dominant performance, with her closest competitor falling well short of her best lift. The win was a significant achievement for Kauru, who has been steadily climbing the world rankings. It also served as a major confidence booster ahead of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, where she will be one of Kenya’s medal hopefuls. The National Paralympic Committee of Kenya celebrated her win as a testament to her hard work and dedication.
