The third day of the competition in Riyadh brought us new winners in the Men’s 61 kg division from Group A. Top winners became closer to qualifying for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 due to their outstanding results.
The first place and gold moved to a lifter from China, Li Fabin, who did his best to lift 308 kg in total, 141 kg in Snatch, and 167 kg in Clean & Jerk. Moreover, he succeeded to break the Junior World Record in the total results.

I’m Tanya, and I love lifting weights. 6 years ago, I picked up Olympic weightlifting and fitness. Weightlifting is a unique sport because it’s just you against the bar. There are no teammates to help you out; it’s all on you.
I’m also passionate about helping other women achieve their fitness goals. That’s why I started my blog and write some products reviews. I want to show other women that they can do anything they set their mind to!
