Let’s admit: everyone was waiting for the performance in the category of Men’s 89 kg as it’s ranked to be one of the most competitive ones in this WWC Qualifying event.

We also had high hopes for the supposed leaders in this division, namely Li Dayin, Tian Tao, Nino Pizzolato, and Keydomar.

The second place moved to the athlete from China Li Dayin who did 383 kg in total, 170 kg in Snatch, and 213 kg in Clean & Jerk.

And closing the Top list, an athlete from Venezuela Keydomar Vallenilla took bronze with 171 kg in Snatch, 210 kg in Clean & Jerk, and a total of 381 kg.

To sum up, we supposed that the Chinese team would perform better and win more medals. Apparently, Tian Tao failed both in Snatch and Clean & Jerk. But, an interesting fact claims that he’s a current World Record holder of C&J of 222 kg who defeated Karlos Nasar by one kilogram at the Asian Championships in Jinju 2023.

Our today’s winner Mostafa Javadi previously won bronze at the Asian Championships in Jinju and silver at the World Championships in Tashkent 2021. This time he showed his best and lifted heavier weights by improving his prior total result by 20 kilograms.

Keydomar Vallenilla managed to improve his previous best result at the Pan-American Championships: C&J became better by 4 kilograms and the total by 6 kilograms.
