Fernando Reis of Brazil was on the start list, but he was ejected from the Games after being suspended following a positive drug test for human growth hormone.[3] He was replaced by David Litvinov from Israel.[4] Meanwhile, Algeria's Walid Bidani tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him to withdrawn from the event.
The event was won by Georgia's Lasha Talakhadze, who also set a new record. Iran and Syria brought home the silver and bronze medals through Ali Davoudi and Man Asaad, respectively. In group B, Hungarian Péter Nagy, Spanish Marcos Ruiz, American Caine Wilkes, Armenian-born Austrian Sargis Martirosjan, Israeli David Litvinov, and Chinese Taipei's Hsieh Yun-ting earn their place in total lifting.
