Career

At the 2013 World Championships which held was in Poland, Nurudinov became the world champion for the first time, confidently winning the snatch (190 kg) and clean and jerk (235 kg). And in the double-event total he took a gold medal with a result of 425 kg. [3]

In 2014, at the World Championships held in Almaty, Nurudinov, in an uncompromising fight for first place with Kazakh and Russian weightlifters, broke the world record in the clean and jerk - 239 kg, then Russian David Bedzhanyan regained the highest world achievement - 240 kg, and finally, Kazakh Ilya Ilyin set the final world record in clean and jerk at 242 kg. As a result, the Uzbek athlete was first in the snatch (193 kg), third in the clean and jerk (239 kg) and took the second place in the combined event (432 kg).

At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Nurudinov, in the absence of the disqualified Ilyin, won the snatch (194 kg), set an Olympic record in the clean and jerk (237 kg) and by a large margin won a gold medal with a combined total of 431 kg.

At the beginning of November 2018, at the World Championships in Ashgabat, an Uzbek athlete in the new weight category of up to 109 kg failed his performance in the snatch, failed to take the initial weight of 188 kg. But in the clean and jerk he managed to win a small bronze medal with a weight on the barbell of 227 kg. To get a big bronze medal in total, he only had to pull out a barbell weighing 177 kg.
