The 17-year-old Indonesian Rizki Juniansyah put in a sensational performance to claim all three junior world records held by the American CJ Cummings at the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) Junior World Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Juniansyah, who already held two world records at youth level, beat his previous best competition total by 42 kilograms and looked as though he could barely believe it as he sank to his knees after his sixth successful lift.
His final clean and jerk of 194kg, which seemed less troublesome than his previous lift 5kg lower, gave him final figures of 155-194-349.
To put that in context it is 6kg more than Cummings made in winning the Pan American senior title last month and 8kg more than the 341kg made by the European champion Daniyar Ismayilov, of Turkey.
