Notes

A highly stylised dragon runs across the suit to inspire strength and power in the Chinese weightlifting team selected for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Hou Zhihui, for example, made a spectacular defence of his Olympic title in Tokyo in 2021, setting an Olympic record in the clean and jerk to secure gold in the 49kg weightlifting category.
