In many disciplines, athletes who have reached the final now begin a decisive round without points scored in the qualification, and the final passes through the elimination system. Also in the finals after each round of shooting an athlete with the lowest score will be eliminated from further combat.

In competitions in the category up to 63 kg, the DPRK national team was represented by the double bronze medalist of the World Championships, Choi Hye Sim. After three attempts in the snatch, the North Korean athlete walked in 4th place, behind the closest rivals of 3 and 6 kg. The strength of Choi has always been the push, which in the last two world championships brought the athlete two small silver medals. Already in the second attempt in the push, Choi rose to second place, and 143 kg taken in 3 attempts made her inaccessible to competitors in the fight for silver. Also this result for a short time became a new Olympic record. Winning the tournament won the Chinese Dan Wei , setting world records in the jerk and the amount of exercise. The North Korean athlete was 14 kg behind Dan at the same time, while the Chinese did not even use her final attempt.
