Perspective
The medallists of the 2020 Olympics - Georgia's Lasha Talakhadze, Iran's Ali Davoudi and Syria's Man Asaad - returns to the Olympics after 3 years, joined by the rest from the previous games - New Zealand's David Liti and Algeria's Walid Bidani. Estonia's Mart Seim and Bahrain's Gor Minasyan returns after 2016, having missed out the Tokyo Olympics, while Egypt's Abdelrahman El-Sayed, aged 35, makes first appearance after 16 years since Beijing 2008, which would be his last Olympics along with Czech's Kamil Kučera, 39, before their respective retirements.
In this event, most lifters failed on the third attempt of snatch, with only Davoudi, Liti, Iraq's Ali Rubaiawi (who later broke the junior world record), and Japan's Eishiro Murakami passed the third attempt. In clean and jerk, the same scenario also appeared, with El-Sayed became the sole lifter to pass the third attempt of the section. Bidani withdraws from the event in response to his failed first attempt of snatch while Kučera and Talakhadze not to take part on the third attempt in clean and jerk. Kučera opens his shoelaces on the second attempt of clean and jerk as a ceremony of his retirement and withdraws from the third attempt while Talakhadze skips the third attempt of the same section after confirming his victory following Davoudi's failed third attempt in which Lalayan and Minasyan wins silver and bronze medals, taking over from him and Asaad.
