In men's 81kg division, Li Dayin, bronze medal winner of last year's World Championships, bagged three golds of the snatch (171kg), the clean and jerk (204kg) and the total (375kg), which is one kilo more than the world record.
The 23-year-old Jiang Bin won the second place in the snatch and won the fourth rankings in the clean and jerk and the total.
"I feel good about every move I took today. I was very much expecting to make good lifts in all the attempts but I lost the second lift in the snatch, which was a pity. But I did not hesitate to put more weight to the third attempt and I had a good finish," Li said.
The women's 55kg competition was carried on between two Chinese lifters - Li Yajun, bronze medalist of the total in the World Championships last year, and Liao Qiuyun. Li posted 96kg in the first attempt and grabbed the gold of the snatch. The 24-year-old Liao finished 125kg in the clean and jerk to collect the golds of the clean and jerk and the total.
In men's 73kg division, the 21-year-old Chinese lifter Wei Yinting swept three golds of the snatch (162kg), the clean and jerk (189kg) and the total (351kg) on his IWF debut. The 24-year-old Yuan Chengfei won the bronze with 151kg in the snatch, bagging two silvers of the clean and jerk (188kg) and the total 339kg.
