Liao Hui won the men's 69kg category by a big margin, giving the Chinese delegation the fifth weightlifting gold medal at the Beijing Olympic Games on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old claimed the title at 348kg, beating French Vencelas Dabaya-Tientcheu by 10kg, who took the silver medal thanks to lighter body weight. Tigran Martirosyan of Armenia came the third.

Liao's victory helped China equal the number of gold medals that the country won at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
