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
