2024 Olympics: Men’s 102KG Weightlifting
The Men’s 102-kilogram division wasn’t showcased in Tokyo at the last Olympics. This time around, the adjacent categories — 96 and 109 kilograms — are off the docket, forcing the best athletes from those divisions to clash in the 102s.
Two Olympic Champions, Uzbekistan’s Akbar Djuraev (109) and Qatar’s Meso Hassona (96) are among the top contenders for the podium this year. However, they’ll have to contend with presumptive gold medalist and leaderboard topper Liu Huanhua of Team China along the way, not to mention athletes from Armenia, Belarus, Korea, and Bahrain; all of whom have their own paths to the podium.

Garik Karapetyan (ARM): 401
