In the men's 61kg competition of the 2024 IWF World Cup, the Chinese weightlifting team once again proved its dominance on the world weightlifting stage. China's Li Fabin not only won the gold medal in the snatch and the overall score, but also broke his own world record with a score of 146 kg in the snatch, demonstrating the extraordinary strength and tenacity of Chinese weightlifters.
Lee's performance was perfect. In the snatch, he gradually increased his weight at a steady pace, from 138kg to 146kg, and was precise in every attempt, eventually breaking the world record with 146kg and winning the gold medal in the snatch. This achievement is not only a recognition of his own skills, but also the best reward for his long and hard training.
The clean and jerk competition is equally exciting. Li Fabin easily lifted 166kg in his first attempt, but then failed in his attempt to challenge for 173kg to break the overall world record. Despite this, he still won the gold medal overall with a total score of 312 kg, proving his leading position in the weightlifting world.
However, the arena is always full of uncertainties. Morris of the United States showed amazing strength in the clean and jerk, successfully lifting 176kg, breaking the world record in the clean and jerk held by Li Fabin, and finally won the silver medal in the overall score with a total score of 303kg. Although this result is surprising, it also fully reflects the fierce competition and rapid development of the international level of weightlifting competition.
Another Chinese player, Chen Lijun, was challenged by a weight class adjustment. Reduced from 67kg to 61kg, Chen Lijun was a little overwhelmed in the competition, failing to do all three snatches, and unfortunately did not have an overall result. This is a reminder to athletes and coaches alike that weight management is just as important as technical adjustments, and can be a critical factor in the success or failure of a competition.
Li Fabin's success and Chen Lijun's regret together constitute a colorful picture of Chinese weightlifting in this World Cup. This competition once again proved the strong strength of the Chinese weightlifting team in the world, and also provided valuable experience and lessons for future training and competitions. With Li Fabin occupying the top of the podium in the snatch with a new world record, the dream and glory of Chinese weightlifting continues. We look forward to the Chinese weightlifting team continuing to maintain this outstanding performance in future competitions, winning more honors for the country and bringing more excitement to the world sports arena."
