Poland's Grzergorz Lanzer claimed gold in the men's up to 65 kilograms category on the second day of action at the 2017 World Para Powerlifting World Cup in Eger.

Lanzer led a Polish one-two at the Hotel Eger and Park today after defeating his compatriot Marek Trykacz.

The Polish pair both produced a best lift of 175kg, but Lanzer edged first place because of his lower body weight, forcing Trykacz into second.

Oliver Francis Brown of Great Britain completed the top three with his best attempt of 155kg.

In today's second men's category, Nathaniel Wilding of Britain clinched the title in the up to 72kg competition.

The 24-year-old won by a comfortable margin of 17kg after easing to victory with a best lift of 167kg.
