He attempted a lift of 227.5 kg, but was unable to make the lift and did not take another attempt. Kakhi Kakhiashvili, due to a light bodyweight (92.06 kg vs. 93.58 kg) was the gold medallist, with Kołecki taking home the silver medal.[1] The 94 kg category had a spread of only 7.5 kg separating the 6th-place finisher and the gold medalist.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
