12:54 https://youtube/watch?v=f4VXRrt2eac After missing his last two snatch attempts and second clean and jerk at 211kg (his first attempt was at 205), Tian Tao was 12kg out of first place sitting in fourth. The Iranian in first was backstage smiling thinking he had the gold locked up until this happened… Taos 218kg/480lb lift matched the current world record for the 85kg weight class which has stood since 1998. The Chinese are very nationalistic and thus their athletes and coaches hold the Asian Games and Chinese Nationals in higher regards than the World Championships so this was a big deal. Oh yeah, and hes only 20 years old… Pretty Neat!
