Sa lifts a gold for ROK

Sa combined 163kg in the Snatch and 203kg in the Clean and Jerk for a winning total of 366kg. Li lifted the same total weight with 168kg in the Snatch and 198kg in the Clean and Jerk, but fell short of the gold due to a higher pre-competition weigh-in. Gevorg Davtyan of Armenia took the bronze at 360kg.

Defending champion Taner Sağır of Turkey, who was heavily favored in 77kg, bombed-out in the Snatch and was eliminated from competition.

Athens bronze winner Oleg Perepetchenov of Russia, who holds the Clean and Jerk world record, also failed to make the podium after a disappointing fifth place finish.
