On the afternoon of April 6, the 10th event of the Weightlifting World Cup was held, the men's 81 kg category.
This event is the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games and the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, but not the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The Chinese team did not send anyone to participate.
The Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games were won by China's Lu Xiaojun, who won the championship with a snatch of 170kg and a clean and jerk of 204kg, for a total of 374kg.
The winner of this event at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games was North Korea's Lee Qingsong, who won the championship with a snatch of 169 kg and a clean and jerk of 195 kg, for a total of 364 kg.
In today's World Cup competition, the Hangzhou Asian Games champion Li Qingsong of North Korea won the three championships in the snatch, clean and jerk and the total score, with a snatch of 166 kg, a clean and jerk of 200 kg, and a total of 366 kg.
In the final clean and jerk competition, Li Qingsong tried to lift the world record of 210 kg twice, but was unsuccessful.
