Katoatau saw the house he built for his parents destroyed in a cyclone several years ago, and he came up with the routine –  first performed at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, where he won Kiribati’s first ever major title – in order to raise awareness of the threat climate change poses to his remote Pacific nation. 


On 16 August, performing for the last time at Rio 2016, Katoatau got more cheers than any other lifter, including a Brazilian, throughout the men's 105kg B Group.
