Iran’s Kianoush Rostami broke his own world record to win the men's 85kg weightlifting at Rio 2016 and clinch his country's first medal of the Games. 
The 25-year-old Rostami, who finished with a bronze in the same weight category in London four years ago, lifted 217kg with his final clean and jerk for a total of 396kg, beating his world record by one kilogram. 
Tian Tao of China took silver with 395kg despite making only two of his six lifts, while Romania's Gabriel Sincraian, who lifted a total of 390kg, took bronze. 
Meanwhile, Rim-Jong-Sim won gold in the women's 75kg weightlifting event at Riocentro to become the first woman to win two Olympic gold medals for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. 
Rim won by a margin of 16kg and became the first woman to win gold in both the 69kg and 75kg, having clinched the former title at London 2012. 
On this occasion, she managed to fend off Darya Naumava of Belarus, who claimed silver, and Spain’s Lidia Valentin Perez, who claimed bronze, Spain’s first Olympic weightlifting medal. 
Naumava’s silver medal was the second successive podium finish for a Belarusian in this event, following Iryna Kulesha’s bronze at London 2012.
