Daniel Godelli (born 10 January 1992, in Peqin) is an Albanian weightlifter, and Olympian[1][2] competing in the 69 kg and 77 kg categories until 2018 and 81 kg starting in 2018 after the International Weightlifting Federation reorganized the categories.[3]

He has won various medals, most notably the gold medal at the 2014 World Championship in Almaty, but his results at Almaty were later disqualified due to testing positive for doping.[4]

Career

[edit]

The most notable achievement during Godelli's youth activities was winning the gold medal on the World Junior Championships in 2011.[5] In this year, also he won bronze medal at 2011 European Weightlifting Championships in Kazan.[6]

In 2013, he won a silver (big) medal in the 2013 European Weightlifting Championships in Tirana, Albania.[7] He had silver in Snatch and gold in Clean&Jerk.

In 2014, he repeated himself with a silver (big) medal, but in the 77 kg category, and lost the gold medal to Erkand Qerimaj only for a slightly heavier body weight, as he had lifted the same combined weight as Qerimaj, 349 kg.[8]

He initially won a gold medal at the 2014 World Weightlifting Championships in the 77 kg category, and in doing so became Albania's first World Champion.[9] The results were later disqualified as Godelli failed an anti-doping test for the steroid Stanozolol,[10][11] as a result he was banned from competition until 10 December 2016.
