Chinese weightlifter Lyu Xiaojun clinched the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics men's 81-kilogram final on Saturday. 🥇🏋🏻‍♂️ He set new Olympic records for snatch (170kg), clean and jerk (204) and total (374kg). Nine years ago, he won the men's 77kg gold medal in London with a new world record. Five years ago in Rio de Janeiro, Lyu lifted 177kg in snatch and 202 in clean and jerk, but lost the gold to Nijat Rahimov of Kazakhstan who was 0.64kg lighter than him. This time, the 37-year-old legend challenged himself and won the Olympic gold back after nine years. Let's review some of Lyu's astonishing moments at the Olympics! #weighlifting #crossfit #luxiaojun #olympics #Tokyo2020 #TeamChina #cgtn #thefaces
