225kg!? 20 year old @mesohassona (96kg, Qatar ??) clean and jerks 225kg / 496 lbs for a new Junior World Record in his last competition as junior! What’s more, he did it in front of a home crowd in Doha, Qatar! What a way to end a junior career (he is also a 2x junior world champion). #cleanandjerk #slowmo #slowmotion #225kg #qatar?? #olympiclifting #worldrecord

Dat Save! 25 year old Zhang Rong (49kg, China ??) snatching 92kg / 202lbs in Qatar! This is just 1kg of the world record and she has done as much as 95kg! Yet this was her first time making an international team for China … #snatch #slowmotion #olympicweightlifting
