Udupi, Feb 22: Roshan Gabriel Lobo, son of Charles Lobo and Philomena Lobo from Barkur, won a gold medal at Maharastra state-level weight lifting competitions held at Akola, Maharastra.

It may be recalled here that Roshan had represented India in the Asian Power Lifting Championship held last year at the Ulan Bator, capital of Mangolia, where candidates from 18 Asian countries participated.



Roshan competed in the 85 kg category and lifted 215 kg in squat, 230 kg in dead lift, and 95 kg in bench press. He secured fifth place in the championship. He achieved this feat in spite of his training being very short, which was less than three months. In this backdrop, his achievement was highly commendable. Roshan became an overnight hero at Rathnagiri where he works, with all the local news papers flashing this news.

Lobo, a past student of Milagres College, Kallianpur, was chosen by the Asian Power Lifting Association, after securing first place at the national level competition organized by the Indian Power Lifting Association. He has also been selected for the national level softball tournament to play for Maharashtra.
 
He had won silver medals in the weight lifting competitions held during the year 2008-09 in Goa, and also in 2004-05 at the Mangalore University level, in Mulky. He has also represented Udupi district in weight lifting competitions and won medals. He had taken part in the state level ball badminton competition too on behalf of Udupi district.

A degree holder in commerce, Roshan Lobo works for Murzello Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd, at Rathnagiri in Maharashtra.
