Tian Tao 165kg Snatch + 222kg Clean&Jerk WR | 2023 AWC in Jinju

[@benjaminking9613]

You've got to love him, amazing feat of strength.

[@nathanielkang2397]

His leg strength has unbelievable to have missed 222kg and follow himself and still make it

[@WanderingSword]

he has thick compact gluts which allows him to bounce out of the squat. However, seems that Tian Tao's back is weaker then Li Dayin's back.

@@WanderingSword LI dayin has a demon back so it makes sense lol

[@cloud-ny5ux]

crazy brute strength ridiculous

[@godforce1]

Awesome

[@haodev]

If only he was a more solid snatcher...

[@clintiacuone1703]

Hopefully we will see him snatch in the 175-180 realm at worlds later in the year!!! I think if he snatches in that area he is far enough ahead of Dayin in the clean and jerk to edge him out there

[@WanderingSword]

@@clintiacuone1703 Dayin is still growing into his 89kg body and will only get stronger

[@clintiacuone1703]

@@WanderingSword oh I agree and he’s younger too which aids in his favour but tian has the advantage of if the jerk pushes him lower into more of a squat jerk he has the leg strength reserves to be able to recover the jerk whereas with li it’s kind of unknown mostly if he could save a jerk if it pushed him lower

Let's Go 🏋‍♂️

[@RockyTucsonPaik]

He can’t be good at everything. So happy to see him competing

[@wyrn_slater]

classic “heart attack” Tao

[@rustyshackleford8473]

Well no. He made all his openers...

[@rolemar1113]

double knee bend?

[@clintiacuone1703]

Double knee bend is not it’s own specific “thing” it happens whether you consciously think about doing it or not lol

[@obheng]

Li Dayin's world record can be easily beaten by Tian Tao - I am sure he can easily snatch 175kg

[@behzingasdad]

Shi zhiyong snatches more than that

[@nischal711]

It was a comeback competition for him. His best at 96kg where he was underweight was 185kg. He can get in the 170s given time.

[@lukagolob236]

Tsk tsk tsk... Slightly redipping the bar before the jerk to give it more whip, thats cheating.

[@sshined868]

Nobody follows that rule anymore
