Li Fabin does it again! Discover how this powerhouse snatched the Olympic record at Paris 2024!
In an electrifying display of strength and skill, China's Li Fabin proved yet again why he's the undisputed king of the weightlifting world. At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, he not only defended his gold medal from Tokyo 2020 but also set an incredible Olympic record in the men's 61kg category. With a total lift of 310kg, Li brought home the glory and reaffirmed China's dominance in the sport. Fans around the world witnessed a fantastic performance that left little doubt about his championship status.
Competing against formidable athletes from around the globe, including Hampton Morris from the USA, who secured a commendable bronze, Li showcased exceptional technique and fierce determination.
