What to remember
Gandhinagar, India, hosted the Asian Weightlifting Championships in May 2026. On 11 May, North Korea's Pang Un-chol made 174 kg in the clean and jerk there in the men's 60 kg class, the world record for the category.
Pang Un-chol already knew the class: he won bronze at 60 kg at the 2025 World Championships in Førde, Norway. He had taken gold at 55 kg at the 2024 Asian Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Weightlifting records depend on weight classes: every time the international federation redefined them (1993, 1998, 2018, 2025, 2026), the earlier records were nullified.
