Each lifter performed in both the snatch and clean and jerk lifts, with the final score being the sum of the lifter's best result in each. The athlete received three attempts in each of the two lifts; the score for the lift was the heaviest weight successfully lifted.
Angel Genchev originally won this category but later tested positive for furosemide. Therefore, Joachim Kunz's silver was elevated to gold and two other lifters in third and fourth position were elevated to silver and bronze position.
