The men's 67 kg of Weightlifting 2020 during the 2020 Summer Olympics was held on 25 July 2021 in the Tokyo International Forum. With 14 athletes competing, the event was won by Chen Lijun from China, with Luis Javier Mosquera Lozano from Colombia taking the silver medal and Mirko Zanni from Italy taking bronze.

Format

The competition exists out of two rounds in which athletes try to lift as much weight as possible. In the snatch round, this lift needs to be done in one continuous motion, while the competitors are allowed to rest the barbell on the chest in the clean and jerk. The athlete with the highest combined weight lifted wins the event.

Preview

Fourteen athletes qualified for the event with plenty of medal contenders after a pretty contested qualification period. Chen Lijun was the reigning world champion and seemed to have the biggest chances for the medals, but Pan-American champion Luis Javier Mosquera Lozano, reigning junior world champion Muhammed Furkan Ozbek, and Mirko Zanni also aimed for success. Other dangerous outsiders also included 2019 junior world champion Adkhamjon Ergashev and Han Myeong-mok.
