The second Tian Tao let go and successfully lifted 211 kilograms. The third Tian Tao directly to 230 kilograms, Morati did not dare to risk, only chose to impact the weight of 220 kilograms. But the two trial lifts of 220 kg, he was in the upper link of the lack of support led to failure. As a result, Tian Tao won directly, winning the overall championship, the snatch championship and the snatch championship. (End)
