At Tokyo 2020, China's Lü Xiaojun won gold in the men's 80kg class to become, at 37, the oldest Olympic weightlifting champion in the modern era.

This was his second Olympic gold after his 77kg success at London 2012, although he is in line to win that title at Rio 2016 as well due to the disqualification of Kazakhstan's Nijat Rahimov.

In London, Lü claimed a world record total of 379kg and celebrated by lifting his coach off the ground, leaving him covered in chalk handprints.

Lü is a five-time overall world champion, Asian Games winner and two-time Asian champion.
