(Shaanxi National Games) Women's weightlifter Deng Wei was accidentally injured and hated Young general Luo Shifangpan competed with Guo Wanchun

Weinan, Shaanxi, China News Service, September 17 (Reporter Wang Peng) The weightlifting event of the 14th National Games entered the second competition day on the 17th. In the women's weightlifting 64 kg final, Rio Olympic champion Deng Wei was accidentally injured and hated the field, and Guangdong's Zeng Tiantian unexpectedly won the championship. In the women's weightlifting 59 kg final, Hunan teenager Luo Shifang won the championship with a total score of 241 kg and expressed hope that she would have the opportunity to compete with Tokyo Olympic champion and Taipei's Guo Wanchun in the future.

In the women's weightlifting final of the night, three world record holders Deng Wei were undoubtedly the favourites to win the championship. As a 28-year-old veteran, Deng Wei was not selected for the Chinese weightlifting team list due to a waist injury before the Tokyo Olympic Games, missing two consecutive Olympic championships. Whether Deng Wei can stage "The Return of the King" at the National Games has become the biggest attraction of the night.

In the snatch lift, Deng Weikai successfully lifted 108 kg and lifted 113 kg and 115 kg consecutively, entering the snatch competition with a 5 kg snatch result ahead of the second place. In the stifflift, Deng Wei, who weighed up to 138 kilograms, was the last to appear, but accidentally injured her leg while supporting the barbell. Deng Wei insisted on the last two attempts with injuries, but the pain made her expression painful, and she failed to successfully lift the barbell, and finally regretted to quit the scene with support, and the whole audience was in an uproar.

Due to Deng Wei's injury, Guangdong's Zeng Tiantian unexpectedly won the championship with a snatch of 108 kg, a deadlift of 138 kg, and a total of 246 kg. After the game, she also said bluntly that all the players know deng wei's strength, even if they can't win the championship, they have to fight for second, "Deng Wei is our role model, (in my heart) I am very sorry." ”

Before the women's 59 kg final, 21-year-old Hunan teenager Luo Shifang was seen as the biggest favorite to win the championship. At the 2021 National Weightlifting Championships, she won the championship with a total of 236 kg, and set a national record for snatching at 106 kg, as well as three national youth records for snatching, deadlifting and overall results. Although in excellent form this year, there were still episodes in the day's race.

In the final, Luo Shifang was the last to appear to grab a 105 kg handlebar, only 1 kg lighter than her national record, which was very risky. Sure enough, Luo Shifang's first two attempts failed, making the audience sweat. In the third attempt, in the cheers of the audience, Luo Shifang successfully lifted 105 kilograms of weight, ranking first in the grasplift.

In the deadlift competition, Luo Shifang successfully lifted 134 kg in the second hand, at this time her total score reached 239 kg, and she had locked the gold medal in advance. In the third test, she continued to lift 136 kilograms steadily, and the whole audience boiled.

In the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the women's weightlifting 59 kg class is the weakest level in Chinese women's weightlifting. All three world records in this category are held by Taipei's Guo Wanchun. Luo Shifang said that in the Paris Olympic cycle, I hope that I can go to a higher level, and if I have the opportunity, I will compete with Guo Wanchun, "Don't instigate, just do it!" (End)
