Roy Mubiru Wins Gold at Arnold Classics, Opens Autism Home

Ugandan powerlifter Roy Mubiru secured gold at the Arnold Classics Powerlifting Championships, where over 15,000 participants competed, marking his fourth win for Africa.

Competing in the gold grandmaster category, Mubiru defeated 34 competitors aged between 45 and 50. The championship took place at the Arnold Classic festival in Ohio, USA.

As the defending champion, Mubiru’s win adds to his four gold medals for Africa, alongside Tanzania and South Africa.

“This is the second time I have won a gold medal at the Arnold Classics, making history as the first Ugandan and African to win the medals back-to-back. I managed 250kgs, 295, and 301kgs in the deadlift category. These medals mean so much to me because I am a record holder now,” said the excited Roy Mubiru.

Following his victory, the USA-based powerlifter opened an autism home in Manyagwa, Gayaza, on Saturday, March 3rd. The home currently houses six autistic children and provides a supportive environment with tailored programs, education, and therapy.

“As a father of an autistic child, I understand the challenges of raising one, which many parents in Uganda may not. That’s why, through the Roy Mubiru Foundation, I aim to raise awareness about autism. It’s important to know how to support these children properly because raising them can be challenging. Autism is not a disability but a special ability,” said Roy Mubiru.

Through this initiative, Mubiru aims to positively impact and empower individuals with autism while also promoting talent in powerlifting.
