Liu Huanhua continued China's powerful showing in weightlifting at the Paris Olympics as he won the men's 102-kilogramme class on Saturday.


Liu totalled 406kg, 7kg short of his own world record, for his two lifts in the recently-created weight class.


In a competition that was tight throughout, he edged Akbar Djuraev of Uzbekistan by 2kg. Yauheni Tsikhantsou, a Belarusian competing as a neutral athlete, took bronze a further 2kg back.


In the seventh of the 10 weightlifting events in Paris, the 22-year-old Liu claimed China's fourth gold.
