Pakistan’s weightlifter Nooh Dastgir Butt successfully defended his title at the World Strongman Championship 2025 and won two gold medals in the competition held in Uzbekistan.
The 24-year-old athlete from Gujranwala secured top honours by claiming all available points in the early rounds, ultimately emerging as the undisputed champion of the event.
This marks the second consecutive year that Butt has won the World Strongman title. His consistent performance over the last two years has not only elevated his stature but also placed Pakistan on the global weightlifting map.
Officials from the Pakistan Weightlifting Federation (PWF) hailed Butt’s achievement as a historic milestone for strength sports in the country. “Nooh has set a benchmark for the younger generation. His dedication and discipline are an inspiration for all aspiring athletes,” said a PWF spokesperson.
Butt’s father, Dastgir Butt, himself a former national weightlifting champion and Nooh’s long-time coach, attributed the victory to relentless hard work and faith. “Nooh has sacrificed a lot to reach this level. His win is not just for our family, but for the entire nation,” he told reporters.
