Over a Dozen World Champions Compete Against India’s Finest Athletes to Set New Records and Bring International Recognition to Indian Powerlifters

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 16: PRO League India, under the leadership of Saad Khayoom, has achieved a milestone by organising the first-ever Asian and World Raw Powerlifting Championships in India. The event was held in Bengaluru and witnessed the participation of over a dozen current world champions and athletes from Portugal, Hungary, Spain, Thailand, and the United Kingdom, competing against India’s finest athletes to set new records and bring international recognition to Indian powerlifters.

PRO, founded by legendary powerlifter and strongman Sandro Eusebio, is an elite powerlifting federation based in Portugal that hosts the annual world championships across the world. PRO League India is the sole promoter responsible for sanctioning, hosting, and organising all championships in India with an organised national committee. Over the past year, the PRO League India has held over nine championships across Bengaluru, Delhi, Pune, and Nagpur to select over 100 champions across various age and weight categories in India.

The primary aim of bringing the fastest growing powerlifting organisation to host an internationally sanctioned powerlifting championships has been to enable all athletes of India, the youth and the senior athletes alike, to have an opportunity to compete at the elite level within their home country, minimizing travel expenses. PRO’s selection process has been very transparent, with no bribes or commissions involved, and purely based on merit of the athlete’s performances. All records are documented in the world record books as an officially sanctioned international competition.

The event also includes drug tested categories and does not promote the use of performance enhancements. PRO’s future goal is to continue creating history and consistently bring more international championships where the best Indian athletes go head to head with athletes from around the world.

Seven-year-old Maryam Sawood is the youngest female athlete competing in the World Championships, looking to set another world record. Eleven-year-old Yusuf Sawood is the youngest male athlete competing in the World Championships, looking to set a new world record. PRO League India is also proud to have India’s first powerlifting family competing together at the Asian and World championships, including the father, mother, daughter, and son (Sawood Ur Rahman, Mehak Sawood, Maryam Sawood, and Yusuf Sawood).

Sandro Eusebio, the founder of PRO, is also gracing this historic world championship by signing up to compete and set another world record to his ever-growing list of achievements. Saad Khayoom, a multiple-time national and world champion athlete, is the first Indian to bring the World championships to the country and create history.

PRO League India is committed to providing the best platform for existing and upcoming athletes of India and bringing international recognition for their accomplishments. The series of these championships was the initial step of a larger plan to achieve this goal, and this event marks a significant milestone in this journey.
