This was the closest competition in Olympic weightlifting history with the first four lifters all registering the same weight.
The gold medal went to Kanybek Osmonaliyev (URS) who had won the 1978-79 World Championships on bodyweight, as Osmonaliyev was 0.2 kg lighter than Ho Bong-Chol (PRK).
Ho's teammate Han Gyong-Si and Bela Olah (HUN) had both weighed the same at 52.0 kg (0.1 kg more than Ho) prior to the competition so they were re-weighed after the event ended, and Han was awarded the bronze medal as by then he weighed 0.1 kg less than Olah. So in this case, Han Gyong-Si became an Olympic medalist because he sweated more than the other man.
