Ammon News - On Monday morning, Jordanian Paralympic champion Omar Qarada won the gold medal in the 49kg powerlifting event at the Asian Para Games in Nagoya 2026. This victory marks the first medal for Jordan at the games, with the competition taking place at the Nagoya Trade & Industry Center in Japan.

Qarada lifted 176 kg, outperforming all his rivals to secure his second consecutive gold medal at the Asian Para Games—and his third overall in his appearances at the event.
