Chinese strongman Zhang [URL=http://www.just4gold.com/age-of-conan-gold.html]Age of Conan Gold[/URL]Xiangxiang totaled 319 kilograms to win the men's 62kg class weightlifting gold medal at the Olympic Games on Monday.
Zhang, 25, kneeled down four times to [URL=http://www.fast-wowgold.com]FFXI Gil[/URL]thank the responsive home fans, who roared to support him when he tried to break the world record in his third clean and jerk attempt.
"It's also for all my supporters," he said.
Zhang was still very happy despite the failed try at the [URL=http://www.fcsgame.com/]world of warcraft gold[/URL]world record. He crouched on the platform and kissed the barbells.
"The world record is a personal honor, while the gold is the honor of the country, so gold matters more than the record," he said.
Zhang finished number one in the snatch with 143kg. At that time, he still faced strong threats from Ji Hun-min of South Korea, who snatched 142kg, and DPR[URL=http://www.fcsgame.com/]wow gold[/URL] Korean lifter Im Yong Su, 2002 world champion, with 138kg. But both challengers failed in all three attempts in clean and jerk.
With arch rivals gone, Zhang dominated the field as no other lifters were able to hoist the weight Zhang jerked in his first attempt.
Zhang, bronze medalist at the Sydney Games in men's 56kg category, was upgraded to current category and got the junior world [URL=http://www.just4gold.com/age-of-conan-gold.html]Age of Conan Gold[/URL]champion in 2002. He survived a medical accident, which almost took his life, in 2003 and got into low ebbs till 2006.
"As long as you have life, you can create everything," he said.
