東京奧運舉重項目，大陸舉重界目前年紀最長、國手最久、參賽最多、成績最好的男子81公斤級大陸選手呂小軍，7月31日以抓舉170公斤打破奧運紀錄、挺舉204公斤，總計379公斤，拿下金牌，送給自己最好的37歲生日禮物，他也是奧運史上年齡最大的舉重冠軍。也是中國舉重隊唯一連續參加三屆奧運的選手，也拿回了上屆5年前里約奧運該該屬於他的金牌。
澎湃新聞報導，呂小軍生日其實是7月27日，當天他在東京舉重訓練館，教練張國政問他生日願望，他說：「31日再告訴你。」
連續參加三屆奧運，呂小軍早在2012年倫敦奧運便拿到77公斤級舉重金牌。2016年里約奧運衛冕賽時，先舉的呂小軍，以總成績379公斤，追平自己在倫敦奧運創造的奧運紀錄領先。後後舉的選手拉西莫夫，也舉出總成績和呂小軍相同重量，但以體重較輕而奪冠，但當時有人質疑拉西莫夫「手臂沒有屈伸動作……兩條腿一直在抖」「亮燈瞬間拉西莫夫的槓鈴已經開始下落了」云云，但沒有翻盤。
呂小軍於2017年以總成績366公斤獲得大陸全運會77公斤級冠軍後，2018年調整到81公斤級，連同2019年，兩度打破世界紀錄374、378公斤總成績，獲得兩屆世錦賽冠軍。2020年下半年全錦賽、2021年的亞錦賽總成績分別是371公斤和373公斤，距離之前最好成績有些差距，總算在東奧恢復。
報導稱，比賽外小插曲，從2003年進入大陸國家隊到2021年決戰東京，堪稱「不老軍神」的呂小軍雖已在大陸國家隊待滿了18年，但始終是歐美健身愛好者心中「永遠的神」。他如雕塑般的魁偉身材和肌肉線條，沒有留下歲月痕跡。在視訊網站搜索「Lv Xiaojun」，會發現數個十萬級以上播放次數的視訊，其中最高的一條甚至突破了400萬播放量。

Deshaun Watson: Houston Texans willing to listen to trade offers for wantaway quarterback
Deshaun Watson’s future remains unclear, but it is looking increasingly likely he will not be a member of the Houston Texans long term.
Watson requested a trade from the Texans back in January, with the team seemingly steadfast in their desire to retain the services of the 2020 season’s passing yards leader.
Yet any trade talk was overshadowed in March by the emergence of sexual assault and misconduct allegations against Watson, who is the subject of investigations from the police and the NFL and faces 22 civil lawsuits.
He reported to the Texans' training camp on Sunday despite a lack of desire to continue playing for the team, who now appear to have had a change of heart.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Monday that the Texans are willing to listen to offers for Watson, though their asking price will be at least three first-round picks.
His off-field troubles may impact the willingness of potential suitors to give up such capital but, in terms of on-field production, there is no doubt he is worthy of that level of compensation.
Topping 4,000 yards for the second time in his career as he racked up 4,823 to lead the league, Watson threw for 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions last season.
Fifth in the NFL in air yards per attempt (9.27), according to Stats Perform data, Watson did an excellent job of balancing his aggressiveness with smart decision-making.
Indeed, he threw a pickable pass on just 2.28 per cent of his attempts, the fourth-lowest rate in the NFL.
Yet the Texans still limped to a 4-12 record and frustration at his lack of involvement in the search for a new general manager and head coach led to Watson requesting a trade.
The Texans start their 2021 season against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 12, but it would be a surprise to see Watson facing off against number one overall pick Trevor Lawrence.
