Beijing time on August 7, in the men's 61kg weightlifting final of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Chinese player Li Fabin successfully defended his title with a snatch of 143 kg, clean and jerk of 167 kg, and a total score of 310 kg. However, Papua New Guinea player Balu, who finished fifth, unexpectedly became popular due to his resemblance to Chinese comedian Song Xiaobao. Song Xiaobao congratulated Li Fabin on social media for winning the championship and said humorously: "I've tried my best too."

Because Balu and Song Xiaobao "faced each other", the topic "I thought Song Xiaobao went to lift weights" became a hot search topic. After Li Fabin won the championship, Song Xiaobao immediately sent his blessings. "Congratulations to Li Fabin for winning the gold medal and successfully defending the title! And "I" also tried my best." After receiving Song Xiaobao's blessing, Li Fabin also responded. "Thank you Brother Bao for your 'company'. Brother Bao will keep up the good work."
What Li Fabin said about "Brother Bao"'s companionship was also a joke about Song Xiaobao's collision with his rival Balu. At the last Tokyo Olympics, Li Fabin's performance of "Golden Rooster Independence" during the competition sparked heated discussions among netizens. Now, after successfully defending his title, he received a cross-border blessing from Song Xiaobao, which has also become a post-game highlight.
