China's 23rd gold was born! Li Fabin defended his title with a total score of 310kg, breaking the Olympic record in the snatch

The weightlifting event of the 2024 Paris Olympics kicked off, and in the men's 61kg gold medal match, Chinese player Li Fabin made his debut. He won gold in the event at the Tokyo Olympics and set a world record in the snatch this year. Li Fabinting reported 169kg, and caught the report 135kg, which still has the absolute strength to rush for gold in this project. Lee's main competitors are Indonesia's Irawan and United States' Maurice Hampton, and the current world record in the clean and jerk is set by Maurice Hampton, but the world record and Olympic record in the overall score are both Li Fabin!

Li Fabin's opening weight is 137kg, and the first attempt to lift it in one step, in one go, lifted it directly; Then Li Fabin increased the weight of the second one to 140kg. Indonesia's Irawan lifted his third attempt, adding weight to 139kg, and he lifted it, but the referee gave three red lights, which was equivalent to failure. He kept walking forward, not really standing firm, and his left elbow was flexed and extended.

After that, Li Fabin came up for the second attempt, 140kg! As with the first attempt, it is also done in one go, without any mud and water, and it is very stable, which is the strength of the veteran! The third attempt was increased to 141kg, but then it was increased to 143kg! He's grabbed 146kg before, so that shouldn't be a problem for him. Sure enough, although it was a little shaky, it was adjusted and lifted in time, and a new Olympic record was born! After the snatch competition, Lee Fa Bin ranked first with 143kg, 8kg ahead of second place Irawan!

There were only 8 runners left in the clean and jerk competition. Irawan's clean and jerk opened with a weight of 162kg, but failed when he went up. It is worth mentioning that this is Irawan's fifth Olympic Games! In the past four Olympic qualifying matches, Irawan has not achieved a clean and jerk result.

The second attempt was still 162kg, but it still failed when I went up. Two consecutive failures were a lot of drain on his body, but his third attempt to lift increased his weight to 165kg, which also gave him a little time to rest! But Thailand's Sirachai also directly added to 167kg, the purpose is not to give Irawan time to rest, which is a strategy! In the end, Irawan failed in his third attempt, and it seemed that he was still injured, and the team doctor hurried over to deal with it. With that, the veteran Irawan's 5th Olympic journey is over!

Li Fabin's jerk weight was 167kg, but he didn't catch it and failed directly! It's time for a quick adjustment; His final clean and jerk was 175kg, so this weight is not a big problem for him, but he needs to adjust his pace. The second attempt was finally successful, and the total score came to 310kg, 11kg ahead of the second place, and the gold medal was basically secured! Li Fabin's third attempt was 172kg, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. The final total score was 310kg, successfully defending the title, which is also the 23rd gold medal of the Chinese team, congratulations!
