There were Chinese weightlifters after many years for the first time at the start, after years of Chinese athletes in neither the Soviet Union nor in most so-called Eastern bloc countries were at the start because of irreconcilable political differences.

Zhou managed this result with 107.5 kg in the snatch and 127.5 kg in pushing, Zeng with 105 kg in the snatch and 130 kg in the thrusting.
