1 This is the official world record for the clean and jerk in the men's 109 kg+ category; the highest weight ever lifted in the clean and jerk is 266 kilograms in 1988 by Leonid Taranenko of the Soviet Union, but this is no longer considered a world record by the International Weightlifting Federation due to the restructuring of weight classes in 1993, 1998 and 2018.
