BEIJING - Lu Yong won China's eighth weightlifting gold medal, tying the world record set moments earlier by the silver medalist but grabbing the title because of a lower body weight.
The electrifying duel between Lu and double world champion Andrei Rybakou of Belarus lasted until the very last lifts of the men's 85-kg competition.
Rybakou thought he had won when he set a world record total of 394 kg (868.6 pounds), but Lu equaled the score with his final lift.
Tigran Martirosyan of Armenia totaled 380 kg (837.8 pounds) to take the bronze.
