What to remember
Kazakhstan, 85 kg class: Alexey Churkin lifted 173 kg in the snatch at the Nagoya Asian Games on 28 September 2026, the world record for the lift.
Churkin had made his name in a lighter class, the 73 kg: bronze at the 2022 World Championships in Bogotá, silver at the 2021 Islamic Solidarity Games in Konya, and silver at the 2022 Junior World Championships in Heraklion.
Standing records do not survive a reshuffle of the classes: the International Weightlifting Federation made one in 1993 and another in 1998, then in 2018, and back to back in 2025 and 2026.
