The World Para Powerlifting announced athletes to watch out for at the African Championship, set to take place in Algiers, Algeria, between 10th and 12th August.

It said “These five powerlifters are individuals who have the potential to make headlines at the second continental competition of the year”.
The powerlifters are: Lucy Ejike and Roland Ezuruike, Hocine Bettir (Algeria), Randa Mahmoud (Egypt) and Sherif Osman (Egypt).

Lucy Ejike seeks to return to winning ways after claiming silver at April’s Commonwealth Games.
