Men's 62kg Weightlifting - London 2012 Olympics - Medal Results

It was the strong men's turn to battle it out in the 62kg Men's Weightlifting event at the London 2012 Olympics.  Read on for all the medal results.

Weightlifting is a fairly simple sport.  You grab a heavy set of weights and lift it over your head.  If you can lift the most weight on that day, you win.  However, in watching the sport, it is clear that while the objective is simple, actually achieving it requires quite a bit of technique, perseverance and pure toughness, in addition to a lot of strength.  Today's medalist all had ample amounts of all three.

Results:

Gold: Kim Un Guk - North Korea

Silver: Oscar Albeiro Figueroa Mosquera - Columbia

Bronze: Erawan Eko Yuli - Indonesia

Congratulations to all the medalists!
