Meet Team USA Olympic Weightlifter Clarence “CJ” Cummings Jr. (73KG) | Bio, Stats, Highlights & More

At the rescheduled 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, 21-year-old weightlifter Clarence “CJ” Cummings Jr. will represent Team USA in the 73-kilogram weight class. Cummings trains at The Foundry — a gym located in Beaufort, SC, where Cummings is originally from. Cummings first foray into weightlifting came before his teenage years, after seeing his older sister, Crystal, train in the gym.

At age 12, Cummings competed — and medaled — in sanctioned weightlifting competitions. He earned a silver medal at the 2012 American Open Weightlifting Championships in the 56-kilogram class. In the nine years since that event, he has racked up nearly two dozen American records in the Youth, Junior, and Senior divisions across four weight classes, is a former Junior world record holder, and is a four-time Junior Weightlifting World Champion (2016-2019). According to the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), Cummings is ranked third globally in the 73-kilogram class.

Cummings’ current competition best lifts are less than what he has proven he can in his training for the Tokyo Games. Based on the roster in the 73-kilogram class headed to Tokyo, Cummings has a strong chance of bringing a medal back home to the USA. To challenge Shi Zhiyong for the top of the podium, he will almost certainly have to post the highest total of his weightlifting career.
