What to remember
Japan's Masanori Miyamoto lifted 154 kg in the snatch on 26 September 2026, on home soil at the Asian Games in Nagoya. That is the world record in the men's 70 kg class.
The snatch is one of the two lifts in weightlifting, alongside the clean and jerk, and each class also has a record for the total. Each time the International Weightlifting Federation overhauled its weight classes, in 1993, 1998 and 2018 and again in 2025 and 2026, the previous records were struck out.
