Li Fabin has gotta catch ’em all. The 61-kilogram Chinese weightlifter wept, for he has no worlds left to conquer after setting a new World Record in the clean & jerk at the International Weightlifting Federation‘s (IWF) 2022 World Weightlifting Championships (WWC).
After winning a gold medal in the snatch portion of the competition, Fabin capped off the Men’s 61-kilogram Group A by clean & jerking 175 kilograms or 385.8 pounds for a new Senior World Record.
Fabin now owns all three records in the 61-kilogram class. Check it out:

Fabin confirmed his standing as one of China’s most consistent competitors with his performance in Bogotá, Colombia, where the 2022 WWC is being held.
Entering the competition with the World Record snatch (145 kilograms) and Total (318 kilograms), both set during the 2019 WWC, Fabin had his gaze fixed on one thing: Besting the previous World Record of 174 kilograms in the jerk, long held by six-time World medalist Eko Yuli Irawan of Indonesia.

After successfully making 167 kilograms on his opening attempt, Fabin was the only athlete left in the field when he first appeared to try for the big three reds. Fabin failed to clean the weight on his second attempt, leaving the audience to wonder if he would bow out of the competition having already secured the overall win.
However, Fabin appeared right at the end of his two-minute clock to lock in his hook grip and send the 175-kilogram barbell soaring overhead.
