The First Lebanese Woman To Qualify For The Olympics In Weightlifting

Lebanese weightlifter and Arab Champion Mahassen Hala Fattouh will become the first female weightlifter in Lebanese history to compete in the Olympic Games! Having ranked first place in Asia and 12th in the world, Fattouh has qualified for the Tokyo 2021 Olympics that is to begin this July.


The olympian took to Instagram to express her loss of words and gratitude for the people who helped her rise to the occasion and exceed all expectations. With an immaculate winning history since 2014, Fattouh’s progression to the Olympics comes with great pride.

We are excited to watch her move forward. Congratulations!
