Powerlifting events at the 2025 Asian Youth Para Games are currently being held at the Dubai Club for People of Determination in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from 10 to 12 December 2025.
Ages Rookie (14–17)
Next Gen (18–20) History Unlike the previous four editions, the way medals were distributed in these competitions was different. In previous editions, the weight classes were merged and in weight classes with less than 4 people, the last person was not awarded a medal. In weight classes where there was only one person, medals were given or not depending on the record. In this edition, medals were given to all the first to third place finishers. In weight classes where there was only one person, the person in question received a gold, silver, or bronze medal depending on his record, and it was possible that he did not receive a medal at all due to a low record.
The weightlifting organizing committee has returned the bronze medal to Iranian athlete Niayesh Salimi after conducting an investigation. With the start of the 79 kg weightlifting competition for women, considering that Niayesh Salimi was the only weightlifter in this weight category at this time of the Games, the organizing committee initially allowed her to compete in the medal section if she registered an entry record for this weight category (79 kg) and a medal would be considered for her according to the weights she registered. Accordingly, Niayesh Salimi, by lifting weights of 52, 57 and 60 kg and registering her entry for consideration by the organizers, hoped to receive a medal. But suddenly, they announced that a medal would not be awarded to our country's representative. On the final day of the Asian Para Games in the weightlifting discipline, competition officials, after re-examining, awarded a bronze medal to Niyaesh Salimi, a 79-kilogram female weightlifter, and gave her a third-place finish.
