On March 23, Beijing time, China's weightlifting harvested good news, and Lu Xiaojun achieved three consecutive Olympic championships! It turned out that the International Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that Rio Olympic champion Nidzat Rasimov, the men's weightlifting champion in the 77 kg category, was banned for eight years for taking drugs, and his results from March 2016 to January 2021 were cancelled. Therefore, Lü Xiaojun made up for the gold, which is 6 years late for justice!
At the London Olympics, Lu Xiaojun won the men's weightlifting 77 kg championship. At the Rio Olympics, Lu Xiaojun won the silver medal, and the gold medalist was Nidzat Rasimov, in this game, Rasimov reversed the gold by breaking the world record in the deadlift, and the latter's last move "did not stand" also caused a lot of controversy. Now it seems that Rasimov's ability to make a big reversal has a lot to do with taking the drug. At that time, Lu Xiaojun gladly accepted and even congratulated his opponent.
Now, Kazakhstan's Olympic champions have been found to be taking medication, and rio Olympic gold medals have been cancelled! "People's Daily" reported for the first time, "China's famous Lu Xiaojun will win the gold medal of this level at the Rio Olympic Games, thus achieving three consecutive Olympic championships." ”
In addition to winning gold at the London Olympics, rio Olympics made up for the gold medal, last year's Tokyo Olympics, Lu Xiaojun was also a gold medalist, at the Olympic Games, the 37-year-old is the oldest weightlifting champion in Olympic history, in the Chinese weightlifting team, he is the only athlete to participate in the Olympic Games for 3 consecutive years. Now, Lu Xiaojun has achieved 3 consecutive championships, which is too domineering.
It is worth mentioning that without the "regret" of the Rio Olympics, Lu Xiaojun is likely not to insist on the Tokyo Olympic Games. Therefore, Lü Xiaojun's current 3 consecutive championships are also "thanks" to Nidzat Rasimov to a certain extent, who cheated and let Lü Xiaojun persist for another 5 years and achieve a legendary career.
Of course, Lu Xiaojun has not retired from the army now, after all, it is only 2 years before the Paris Olympic Games! Lu Xiaojun himself said that he is still training and participating in the Paris Olympic Games 2 years later, and he is very confident!
