Weightlifting at the 1960 Roma Summer Games:

There was no clear favorite in this class as international competitions had produced several different winners in the last few years, and several of them had changed weight divisions. The leader after the press was American [Jim George], who had won the bronze medal in the division at Melbourne. He continued to lead after the snatch, but narrowly over Poland’s [Ireneusz Paliński], but Paliński outlifted George in the clean & jerk by 15 kg and won the gold medal comfortably, as George took silver. Bronze went to Paliński’s teammate, [Jan Bochenek], who had always competed as a middleweight until the Rome Olympics.
