Tokyo Olympics: China's Shi Zhiyong gets world record, wins Gold
China's Shi Zhiyong has won Gold in the 73 kilogram weightlifting event after smashing his own world record.

In total, Shi bettered by one kilo his own world record of 363 kilograms. It wasn’t much of a contest for Gold as second-placed Julio Ruben Mayora Pernia of Venezuela lifted 18 kilos less in total. Completing the podium was Indonesia's Rahmat Erwin Abdullah, who lifted 342 kilograms in total.
