Tian Tao
China
Chinese weightlifter Tian Tao set the men's 96kg snatch world record of 187kg at the 2019 World Weightlifting Championships in Pattaya, Thailand. The snatch requires lifting the barbell from the floor to overhead in a single continuous motion, demanding greater technical precision than the clean and jerk. A 187kg snatch is equivalent to hoisting the weight of two to three adult men above one's head in one fluid movement.
