On April 10, 2024, Beijing time, the Thailand station of the Weightlifting World Cup continued to be held in Phuket, and the Chinese team received good news that it won all three gold medals in the women's +87 kg class with an absolute advantage. Olympic champion Li Wenwen, who returned from injury, regained her dominance, and she was still in a class of her own, leading the whole race, not only winning three gold medals, but also leading the runner-up by 29kg overall, leaving her opponent desperate. It can be said that as long as Li Wenwen is not injured, the gold medal in the Paris Olympics is also stable.
In this competition, the Chinese team was greatly impacted, and it was difficult to achieve the feat of winning all three gold medals in the past advantageous events, especially the North Korean team continued to exert its strength and brought great challenges to the Chinese team in the women's event. However, the women's +87kg class is still the most dominant event for the Chinese team, as Olympic champion Li Wenwen has made a strong comeback, and she has regained her strong dominance after recovering from injury, which is amazing.
In this final, whether it is a snatch or a clean and jerk, Li Wenwen's opening score is unattainable by her opponents. In the end, Li Wenwen won three gold medals with a snatch of 145 kg, a clean and jerk of 180 kg, and a total score of 325 kg. In terms of overall results, Li Wenwen is 29kg ahead of runner-up Park Hye-jeong of South Korea, which is the most dominant event of the Chinese team in this competition, and it can be said that the opponent is very desperate.
With Li Wenwen winning the championship, the Chinese weightlifting team ended all the competitions in Thailand, and the Olympic squad basically surfaced. As for the Chinese women's team, although it was greatly impacted in this competition, considering that the North Korean team did not participate in the Paris Olympics, the goal of the Chinese women's team in the Paris Olympics is still to win all three gold medals. If nothing else, the women's team should send Hou Zhihui in the 49kg class, Luo Shifang in the 59kg class and Li Wenwen in the +87kg class, which is the best choice.
As for the Chinese men's team, according to the results of this competition, Li Fabin in the 61kg class and Liu Huanhua in the 102kg class can be said to have basically locked in the Olympic quota, and the last place should be between Shi Zhiyong in the 73kg class and Li Dayin in the 89kg class. Judging from the results of this competition, if the above players are sent to participate in the Paris Olympics, the Chinese team is expected to hit at least 5 gold medals or even win all 6 gold medals.
Of course, there are still a few months before the Paris Olympics, and the team members must first ensure that they do not get injured, and secondly, they must move their state.
