Weightlifting at the 2025 Islamic Solidarity Games have wrapped in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 

The WLHOUSE team wasn’t there, but we’ve kept tabs on the competition to see what some of our favorite weightlifters could do—many of whom took the stage recently at the World Champs and Junior European Champs.

• Remind Me: The 20th Games are a multi-sport athletic tournament meant to strengthen relations between Islamic countries. Over 3,000 athletes from 57 nations gathered in Riyadh, including many of the best weightlifters from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
