Oscar Figueroa lifted a combined total of 318kg to win the men's Olympic 62kg weightlifting title, and deliver Colombia's first gold of Rio 2016.
Figueroa's 176kg lift in the clean and jerk meant Indonesia's Eko Yuli Irawan (312kg) was forced to settle for silver, as both men improved on the medals they won at London 2012.
Kazakhstan's Farkhad Kharki won the bronze medal with a total of 305kg.
Chinese favourite Chen Lijun missed out, failing to register in the snatch.
