What to remember
In Gandhinagar, India, the Asian Championships saw Li Yan snatch 145 kg on 17 May 2026 in the over 86 kg class. From Tangchi, the Chinese lifter had won the world title in 2024 and the Asian title in 2025. That same year she won the Chinese National Games ahead of Olympic champion Li Wenwen.
The snatch is one of the two lifts in weightlifting. Each weight class has three records: one for the snatch, one for the clean and jerk, and one for the total of both.
Each time the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) reshaped its weight classes, in 1993, in 1998, in 2018, in 2025 and again in 2026, the old records were erased.
