He was also successful in 2008. He won his first international championship title at the European Junior Championships in Durres / Albania in the lightweight 310 kg (140-170). At the Junior World Championships this year in Cali he came in lightweight to 302 kg (137-165) and had to admit defeat Oleg Chen from Russia, 307 kg (142-165).

At the Junior World Championships in Bucharest in 2009, he had to learn shortly afterwards how bitter a defeat can be, because after three failed attempts in pushing with 180 kg without a duel, he had set a new personal best in snatch with 152 kg , with which he had also become junior world champion in the tear.

He was well recovered from this defeat at the 2009 Seniors World Championships in Goyang / South Korea . He managed there in a lightweight duel 334 kg (154-180) and thus finished second behind Liao Hui from the People's Republic of China , 346 kg (160-186).
