Jairo Cossio

Gymnastics and Strength Sports

Jairo Anibal Cossio Zapata is a retired Colombian weightlifter, born on 3 July 1970 in Antioquia. The English Wikipedia article describes him as a male weightlifter from Colombia and records his best known result: a bronze medal won for his native country at the 2003 Pan American Games, the multi-sport regional championship contested by athletes from across the Americas. Weightlifting is a strength sport in which competitors lift a loaded barbell in the snatch and the clean and jerk, and a Pan American Games medal marks a podium finish against the strongest lifters of the continent. The source entry is short, so only his birth, his nationality and this medal are stated here.
