The favorite was likely Viktor Mazin (URS) who held the world record, although he had come out of nowhere in early 1980.
Mazin won the gold medal with the best lift in both snatch and clean & jerk, although his jerk was matched by Stefan Dimitrov (BUL), who won silver.
The bronze medal went to Marek Seweryn (POL), who had been the 1979 World Champion and a silver medalist in 1978 as a bantamweight.
