This means that China's famous Lu Xiaojun will win the gold medal in this category of the Rio Olympic Games, thus achieving three consecutive Olympic championships! The number of gold medals in the Rio Olympic Games of the Chinese team has also increased to 27!
In the men's 77 kg event at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, China's Lu Xiaojun broke the world snatch world record with a score of 177 kg, with a total score of 379 kg. Kazakhstan's Rasimov won the championship because he weighed less than Lu Xiaojun, and he also broke the world record in the deadlift.
