Absolutely astounding. Tian actually came up with that 260kg front squat easier than Liu did, and then outrepped him back down on the 240kg. I will also say that even though Tian didn't make his final lift in competition, watching him clean that 226kg like it was an empty bar was an epic finale to an incredible career. I really hope he enjoys his well deserved retirement!

Beyond his amazing strength and ability -- I'm going to miss his personality. He's probably been the most emotive and playful athlete on that team. His levity has actually added more richness to all the intense lifting sessions we've seen

Holding 370kg in a front rack is pretty wild

I remember first seeing tian tao working out with his older brothers lu and liao. Now he's the older brother 😢

What is crazy next to their insane strength is that they all looks 15 years or more younger than they actually are. I guess weight lighting def is slowing down aging.

I Think Tian Tao Is In The Top 10 Best Squatters Of All Time. I Will Forever Be Sad That He Is Retiring 😢 The Goat

Disheartening to see all the Chinese Squat Jerkers are retiring one after the other. First it was Lu, then Tian and after the Olympics, it might be Shi. Weightlifting is losing its gems🥲

in any other video Chen lijun’s back would’ve stolen the spotlight…

I hope tiantao becomes an ambassador of the sports or something like that, traveling the world for seminars and fishing

Respect from the other lifters literally stopping their training to witness such amazing feats of strength.

Tian Tao's strength is unreal, must be some real good Chinese food that does the trick.

He also looked mad lean here, his face looked sharp and not puffed. Dude was probably in amazing shape for this comp despite his injuries

Anatoly: Can I clean here?

Tao: Sure, before let me call 112

Tian Tao: Shit is so f*king shaky

dont let the smiles fool you...the dudes are going hard af competitively despite being friendly. TT wanted to show he was still boss.

CEO of Cleans - Tian Tao

Just another day at the office, playing around with over 800 pounds, and having a blast of a time doing it. What else do these guys do for fun?
