20-year-old Hampton Morris sets new American and world record in clean and jerk weightlifting at IWF World Cup in Thailand.
20-year-old American weightlifter Hampton Morris set a world record at the IWF World Cup in Thailand, lifting 388 lbs (176 kg) in the clean and jerk. This is the first time an American male has broken a weightlifting world record since 1969, boosting his IWF world ranking to #2. This achievement raises hopes for Team USA in the sport, as the last U.S. male Olympic medal in weightlifting was won in 1984.
