Li wins the group easily but may not have done enough for the Chinese team to select him for the Olympic Games
Seraj Alsaleem (Saudi Arabia) with a huge competition best clean and jerk to claim silver medal on total despite being seventh after snatches
Yoichi Itokazu (Japan) does enough for total bronze
Kao Chan-Hung (Taiwan) hurts himself when his foot slips on first clean and jerk and then lets the timer run down on his other lifts without returning to the platform
