Nepali community, friends, and supporters in the USA and around the world are still in disbelief, shocked, and saddened by the untimely demise of world-class powerlifter Rup Karki at the age of 52. Mr. Karki passed away due to a sudden cardiac arrest on January 21st, 2021 in Nepal.
He immigrated to the US and had been living in the Washington DC metro area for more than one and half-decade. He was a successful self-employed entrepreneur based in Virginia and a happy family man. Nonetheless, he never gave up his inner desire to become an elite powerlifter. He defied odds and hurdles and dedicated his life to achieve what he wanted!!! He was a multiple title holder in the World Powerlifting championships and pride of Nepal. He made his recognition as a world-class Nepali American powerlifter, community activist, and social leader. He was a co-chair of the sports committee NRNA USA.
He recently moved back to Nepal with a dream to popularize powerlifting sport and help Nepali athletes. He was on a mission to aspire Nepali powerlifter, transfer his international experience and skills, and produce Nepali powerlifters who could compete and succeed in the international powerlifting championship.
We all knew that he had been selflessly providing training and logistics to players in preparation for the upcoming National Championship, which would eventually pave a pathway to participate in the World Championship to be held in Moscow, Russia. Unfortunately, he is no longer among us to continue his mission; however, his dream and legacy are still with us. Please contribute to this fundraising event to continue his mission with the help of his family and friends. Your contribution will be utilized to his dream project, i.e., to help powerlifters in Nepal as well as create a memorial champion tournament in recognition of his dedication and achievements. Let’s give a fulsome tribute to our friend, sportsman, and pride of Nepal by supporting his dream.
