Three events, three gold medals. China kept its perfect record in Tokyo Olympic weightlifting Sunday (local time), but only after plenty of drama.
It was gold or nothing when Chen Lijun stepped onto the stage for his second lift in the clean and jerk. He had two shots at lifting 187 kilograms, one kilogram short of the world record, to beat Colombia’s Luis Javier Mosquera. Fail and he was off the podium in the 67-kilogram category.
