With the arrival of the 2022 season, the weightlifting team, known as the dream team of Chinese sports, has also begun to prepare for the new Olympic cycle. As we all know, before that, the weightlifting project was probably kicked out of the news of the 2028 Olympic Games, which caused a sensation in the entire world sports world. Although it is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day for the Chinese weightlifting team, whether it can participate in the event or not, the team now has to prepare for the Paris Olympic Games. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese weightlifting team won seven gold medals, ranking first among all participating countries. After resting, the whole team regrouped at the Hainan Wuzhishan Training Base, and five Olympic champions, including Hou Zhihui, Wang Zhouyu, Li Wenwen, Li Fabin and Shi Zhiyong, officially opened the preparation for the Paris Olympics.
Previously, the International Weightlifting Federation held a relevant meeting in Uzbekistan to determine that the weightlifting events of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games are divided into 5 levels for men and women.
On the men's side, there are 5 categories: 61 kg, 73 kg, 89 kg, 102 kg and over 102 kg, while for women they are 49 kg, 59 kg, 71 kg, 81 kg and over 81 kg. In order to create another glory in the Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese weightlifting team made corresponding adjustments according to different Olympic levels.
It is not excluded that some Olympic champions and world champions may choose to gain or lose weight in order to participate in the competition in the ten levels of the Olympic Games. Yu Jie, head coach of the Chinese weightlifting team, said in an interview that several Tokyo Olympic champions have returned to the team one after another, and after recovering physical fitness, they will soon be put into training. Considering the Olympic level setting of the Paris Olympic cycle and the way the Olympic tickets are obtained, the team will once again make adjustments and strive to end successfully in 2024. The Chinese weightlifting team has always been the gold medalist of the Chinese sports delegation in the Olympic Games, and together with the Chinese diving team, they have almost half of the number of gold medals of the Chinese team.
At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese weightlifting team won 7 gold medals with unsolvable strength, and if it were not for Liao Qiuyun's tactical mistakes in coaching, the Chinese team might have achieved an unprecedented eight gold all-inclusive. Regarding the problem of weightlifting not qualifying for the New York Olympic Games, head coach Yu Jie believes that no matter what the final result is, the Chinese weightlifting team must continuously improve its strength and be prepared to deal with various difficulties and complex situations. In addition to the Olympic Games, the players can also show themselves on the top stages such as the World Championships, the World Cup and the Finals.
After the assembly, the Chinese weightlifting team will begin to compete in the 2022 season, less than three years before the Paris Olympic Games, and the coaching staff will also do their best to mobilize everyone's competitive status on the basis of ensuring the physical health of the athletes. Some netizens said that regardless of whether weightlifting will appear in the 2028 Olympic Games, the Chinese weightlifting team is still a champion that makes the Chinese people proud and proud. For the Paris Olympics, the goal of the Chinese weightlifting team is still all-inclusive! Together we look forward to their success in 2024!
