King Kalu by the numbers
King Kalu's record in context: where the best total ranks, how the snatch compares with the clean and jerk, and the lifts behind the best Sinclair score.
- Best Sinclair score

- Best total, place in its class
- 487th of 981
- 250 kg, against the best total of every lifter in the men's 62 kg class (the class list of 1998 to 2018) on this site.
- Snatch as a share of clean and jerk
- 79%
- At the best total, 110 kg of 140 kg. A higher share means a stronger snatch for the clean and jerk. Eight in ten men lifting in national federation meets sit between 71% and 86%.

- The other ended without a total: no good lift in the snatch or the clean and jerk.
King Kalu's competition results
Every result, newest first, with all six attempts. A struck-through weight is a missed attempt and a dash an attempt not taken. A dash under Total means no total was recorded, and "No lifts" that the lifter was entered but did not lift. Places are for the total. A row that names two events was one competition scored for both; its places can differ because each ranks its own field.
