Many of the world’s best weightlifters will be in action in Tashkent in Uzbekistan over the next week at the Asian Championships, including at least 11 potential Olympic gold medallists.
China, whose athletes already lead 10 of the 14 Tokyo 2020 qualifying categories for men and women, is sending a formidable team of 20, not one of whom is entered in the six non-Olympic events.
No other nation in the Asian Championships is fielding the maximum 20, though there are big teams from Japan (19), Uzbekistan (18), Kazakhstan (17) and South Korea (15).
North Korea is not taking part, having decided not to compete at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Games because of fears over the COVID-19 pandemic.
