Sans rival à l’épaulé-jeté. Repoussant à l’extrême ses limites, laissant sa peur de décevoir aux vestiaires, il a su devancer un Tigran Martirosyan en grande forme. De justesse toutefois... L’Arménien s’était en effet octroyé le concours de l’arraché avec 155 kg, devant Dabaya, bloqué à 148 kg. Ce qui, en soit, ne constituait pas une surprise, le Français étant conscient d’être perfectible dans cette discipline. Au jeté, en revanche, personne n’a pu l’inquiéter. Serrant les dents, il remonta la pente pour soulever 183 kg, alors que l’Arménien, troisième, ne dépassa pas les 176. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9paul%C3%A9%2Djet%C3%A9
