Chinese strongman Long Qingquan lifted the gold medal of the men's 56kg category at the Beijing Olympics Games on Sunday.

This is the second gold medal for the Chinese weightlifting team at the Games after Chen Xinxia had claimed the title of women's 48kg class on Saturday.

The baby-faced Long snatched 132kg and jerked 160kg for a winning total of 292kg. Vietnam's Hoang Anh Tuan took the silver at 290kg and Eko Yuli Irawan of Indonesia had the bronze at 288kg.
