Notes

  • a Not a world record at the time of the competition, became a world record when IWF decided to eliminate the world standards from the list of World Records on 24 June 2008.[1]
  • b Andrei Rybakou's record of 394 kilograms from 15 August 2008 was rescinded on 26 October 2016 following disqualification for banned drug use;[2] which could make Lu Yong the world record holder. By that time, however, it had been surpassed by Kianoush Rostami.
  • c Rescinded for anti-doping violations.
