Weinan, Shaanxi, China News Service, September 23 (Reporter Wang Peng) The men's weightlifting competition of the 14th National Games entered a large-level competition on the 23rd, with Tian Tao and Yang Zhe winning the 96 kg and 109 kg championships respectively. Yang Zhe achieved four consecutive national championships.

In the 96 kg final, rio Olympic runner-up, 27-year-old Tian Tao, was significantly stronger than his opponents, and in the grab, he led the second place by 7 kg with a score of 187 kg. In the deadlift, Tian Tao lifted 208 kg in the first hand and basically locked in the championship. In the second attempt, he directly asked for 232 kilograms of weight, which is 1 kilogram heavier than his world record. But he only shook the barbell and gave up the trial before he could exert his strength. Maeda shouted, "I'm coming for the next Olympic Games!" ”

"Today's performance was very poor." After the game, Tian Tao said that today's results are still far from his peak state, because of the knee injury, coupled with the failure of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the mentality and state of the whole person have declined in recent times, the training is not active and systematic, and only practiced for two weeks before the National Games.

At the Rio Olympics, Tian Tao competed in the men's 85 kg competition and won the silver medal. He later rose to the 96 kg class, won the World Championships, and set a world record for the deadlift of 231 kg. But Tian Tao revealed that the weight lift is a great challenge to every joint, and injuries follow.

"I wanted 232 kilograms today, in fact, everyone knows that I definitely can't lift it, and I can't lift it, so I just set a goal for myself." Tian Tao said that he had a poor mentality before and even "didn't want to practice", but he was inspired to see Lu Xiaojun win the Championship at the Tokyo Olympics at the age of 37.

Tian Tao said that the next step is to thoroughly deal with the knee injury, and it is not the opponent but the injury that is in front of him. "If I'm okay, then [the goal] is the next Olympic gold medal."

In the 96 kg final, Hunan's Sun Wei won the silver medal with a total of 165 kg in the snatch and 214 kg in the deadlift, with a total result of 379 kg. Zhao Yongchao of Fujian won the bronze medal with a total of 170 kg in snatching and 208 kg in deadlift, with a total score of 378 kg.

In the 109 kg final, Shandong's Yang Zhe, who has won the championship for three consecutive times, won the championship without suspense. As the holder of the world record for snatching in this category (200 kg), he finished at 196 kg, 19 kg ahead of second place. In the deadlift, the second successfully lifted 215 kg and then locked in the championship. The overall result was 18 kg ahead of the second place.

Wu Changsheng of Guangxi won the silver medal with a total of 177 kg in the snatch and 216 kg in the deadlift, with a total score of 393 kg. Shi Chanlong, a 23-year-old young man in Hunan, won the bronze medal with a total of 168 kg in grasp and 218 kg in the snatch, with a total of 386 kg.

For a long time, the big class was a weak weightlifting project for Chinese men. Yang Zhe said after the game that although winning the championship of the four consecutive National Games has a special significance for himself, his achievements in the world over the years are always a little worse, "I hope that the teachers and disciples will rise up quickly and contribute to China's major breakthroughs." ”

For the future, the 30-year-old veteran said that in the past twelve years, he has been injured all over the body, and he must take a break first, and if necessary, he will continue to insist, because he still loves weightlifting. (End)
