171 kg Snatch "Too Light!" for Lu Yong

August 25, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Lu Yong (19 at the time) at the 2005 World Weightlifting Championships

At 2:23 snatching 171 kg, he yells “it’s too light!” 太轻啦. Apparently true, because in his third attempt he snatched 175kg.

With 210kg in his Clean and Jerk he totaled 385kg. (New Junior Total World Record)

As the commentator said:

“This boy has got a bright, bright future”.

Yes he did, winning gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the 85kg weight class.

Snatch 180kg, Clean and Jerk 214 = Total 394kg
