Career

[edit]

Injury before Olympics

[edit]

In 2016 he tore the Patellar tendon in his left knee[4][5] 10 days before the beginning of the 2016 Summer Olympics[6] and was unable to compete. His recovery lasted 15 months[7] and he was unable to compete until the 2017 Bolivarian Games, where he competed in the 62 kg division, winning the gold medal.

World Championships

[edit]

Mosquera won the gold medal in the 62kg division at the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships in Anaheim,[8] this makes him the second Colombian weightlifter to win a gold medal at the World Weightlifting Championships after Leydi Solís also at the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships.[9] He also won a silver medal in the 62kg division at the 2015 World Weightlifting Championships in Houston.[10]
