Check out CJ Cummings as he competes for international gold and youth World Records!

The current Youth World Records in CJ's weight class are 144kg snatch, 173kg clean & jerk, 312kg total. CJ is opening with a 170kg clean & jerk, putting that World Record well within his reach.

He also has a good shot at a gold medal in both the clean & jerk and the total due to just how strong his clean & jerk is compared to the rest of the field.

UPDATE:

Cummings went 3 for 3 on his snatches, successfully hitting 127kg, 132kg, and 137kg. He finished 4th overall in the snatches. If he can hit a 176kg clean & jerk, he'll earn two World Records (one in the clean & jerk and one in the total) as well as making a strong push to gold in the clean & jerk and gold in the total!
