Albanian weightlifter

Gert Trasha (born January 31, 1988 in Elbasan) is an Albanian weightlifter. At age sixteen, Trasha became one of the youngest weightlifters to mark their official debut at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, representing his nation Albania. He placed thirteenth in the men's featherweight cl* (62:kg), as he successfully lifted 115:kg in the single-motion snatch, and hoisted 140:kg in the two-part, shoulder-to-overhead clean and jerk, for a total of 255:kg.

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Trasha switched to a heavier cl* by competing in the men's lightweight division. Unlike his previous Olympics, Trasha did not finish the event, after failing to lift a snatch of 136:kg in three attempts.
