Kim Un Guk goes 3/3 in the snatch, ties the World Record Snatch with 153kg. Still Olympic record, but why not go for 154kg dude?
With 174kg in the Clean & Jerk Kim Un Guk set a new World Record in the total with 327kg.

Oscar Albeiro Figueroa Mosquera needed an Olympic Record to get the Silver Medal. In an amazing effort he got that 177kg Clean & Jerk on his 3rd attempt (Even though he could have made on his first, cleans looked super easy). I am sure that lion roar helped a lot.

Disappointing to see Zhang Jie not on the podium. But missing his last to snatches he was at a big disadvantage.
With 2 attempts in the C&J remaining Zhang Jie had to set a new Olympic Record, but was unsuccessful.
Results: Nobody went 6/6

Ahhh so glad I’m British! BBC website has them all waiting for me 😀
BBC FTW!
Best 10 bucks I spend in a while.
Love the pics man you should get some more up
Have had so many. But can’t put up more because of server load. So I just post winners or top 3 :/
Maybe make a separate tumblr/flickr for the other pics/gifs you are collecting.
I’d love to, but my day only has 24hours and I barely get all the stuff done already…
more and more we can see how superstrong was Naim Suleymanoglu. Despite Kim beat his snatch by 0,5Kg,nobody can come close of 190Kg,
Untouchable.
Naim was one of those “once in a hundred years” guys.
Why does
Naim Süleymanoğlu not hold the C&J world record anymore? He did 190. Todays record is 177..
From the top of my head I think all the records were wiped near the start of 2000? That’s why when rezza got the world record clean and jerk it was a “new olympic standard” or something along those lines. It wasn’t an all time record. I hope someone else can clear this up.
That is correct. After adjusting the weight classes all former records were null.
