Weightlifting: Liu Huanhua (CHN) wins men's 102kg gold!

Liu is simply a cut above!

The 2023 world champion hit a 186kg snatch to share the lead with Garik Karapetyan (ARM) heading into the clean & jerk portion of the competition, and only needed one attempt there to stick a monster 220kg lift, giving him a 406kg total that would not be beaten.

Safe in the knowledge that the gold was his, Liu decided to stick 233kg in the bar in an attempt to break in his own world record in the lift (232kg, set in April this year) and total (413kg).

You could hear a pin drop inside South Paris Arena 6 as the 22-year-old stepped to the platform, but although Liu managed to stand up the clean after a herculean effort, he simply didn't have enough strength left to stick the jerk - despite the best efforts of a raucous crowd cheering him on.

Still, he walks away as the Olympic champion!

🥈Akbar Djuraev (UZB): 404kg
🥉Yauheni Tsikhantsou (AIN): 402kg

This is absolutely remarkable from Japan'sMori Ai!

She slowly but surely makes her way up the Lead wall, making up for her below-part Boulder performance.

Mori has to reach three holds from the top to move into the lead past Great Britain'sErin McNeice. And she does just that, reaching the second-highest hold and only falling as she attempts to move to the Top!

The crowd and her teammate and Tokyo 2020 medallistNonaka Miho applaud from below. A big standing ovation. Mori is into the lead on 135.1 points.

Up next isBrooke Raboutou of the USA, second after Boulder. She needs to get just shy of the 60-point area to move past Mori into the lead.

And she does just that. But she falls at the 72-point hold! The realisation finally hits Raboutou that she is guaranteed a medal and there's a release of emotions as she wears a massive smile before she goes to hug her fellow finalists. 156.0 points.

Two climbers left. AndJessica Pilz of Austria, who was one of the four athletes within a shout of bronze, has her medal! 88.1 on the lead wall before she falls gives her a total of 147.4 points. The same show of emotions that Raboutou displayed have now struck Pilz. She runs over to the Austrian support team and they engulf her in a bear hug.

There is a standing ovation forJanja Garnbret. Can she win her second Olympic gold, despite the injury from Boulder? She needs the 72-point hold for the win.

She's done it! No top butJanja Garnbret is a two-time Olympic champion!

The Slovenian collapses to her knees and breaks down in tears as the crowd give her a standing ovation. A scream of joy as the sobs come. She pumps her fists and blows a kiss to the crowd. Raboutou runs to her and gives her a big hug. 168.5 points for Garnbret.
