Aricco Jumitih

Gymnastics and Strength Sports

Aricco Jumitih is a Malaysian weightlifter from the state of Sabah. He won the gold medal in the men's 62 kg event at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which is the result that places him in the record of that competition. The 62 kg class is one of the bodyweight categories in which weightlifters are matched, so his title belongs to a single weight division rather than to an open contest. His Games are also remembered for a small controversy over his kit: when he competed in the event he wore a jersey bearing the flag of his home state of Sabah instead of the Malaysian national flag. The sources read give no birth date, club or later career, so this entry records only the nationality, the sport, the gold medal and the jersey episode.
