After lunch, Jiang weighed himself. The scale read 73.49kg.
The actual weight of a weightlifting athlete was more than the weight class they belonged to. For example, an athlete who was in the 69kg weight class had to weigh more than 69kg. But if one was heavier than the standard acceptable weight, then he or she would not be able to take part in the games. Athletes would lose weight before the date of the measurement by going on a diet and not drinking water.
Jiang was 73.49kg, which was 4.49kg higher than the 69kg weight class. However, considering the fact that he had just eaten a meal and was wearing clothes, the weight actually fell in the normal range.
