At the upcoming World Equipped in Denmark, the 59kg men’s class will lift at 1.30pm CET on the first day of the competition – Monday 14th November.

Last year’s bronze medallist and former junior world champion, Yi-Chun Lin of Chinese Taipei, tops the nominations this year with 707.5kg. He struggled on bench at The World Games earlier this year – will this be his redemption and his first open world title?

He will need to keep Ecuador’s Franklin Leon at bay though. Leon has taken the silver medal at equipped and classic world championships eight times now and he will be hungry to make this the year he took an extra step up the podium. Leon’s nomination isn’t far behind at 692.5kg and then the next three are nominated within 5kg of each other so we should see some close competition for all the podium places.

The 66kg class lifts on day two of the competition at 12 noon. Tsung-Ting Hsieh of Chinese Taipei leads the nominations by 15kg or so. Many time world champion, he has previously won the gold medal at The World Games and took the silver this year. Yusuke Satake of Japan and Hassan El Belghiti of France filled out the podium with him in Alabama and they line up just behind in nominations here, along with Poland’s Mariusz Grotkowski. There's only 20kg between these three on nominations and all are veterans of the game so we expect a hard fought battle.

Watch live on the Olympic Channel.
