On the afternoon of September 19, at the Weinan Sports Center Gymnasium, the barbell raised high smashed heavily on the floor, and everyone in the stadium felt the trembling of the ground. Anhui women's famous lifter Meng Suping successfully lifted a 172 kg barbell in the 3rd deadlift, and finally won the silver medal in the women's weightlifting category of 87 kg or more at the 14th National Games with a snatch lift of 130 kg, a deadlift of 172 kg and a total score of 302 kg.
"When I was waiting, the coach said it was already second, and the last one was not needed, but I still wanted to finish my game more perfectly." Meng Suping said.
The women's weightlifting competition over 87 kg gathered the top players from all over the country, and the competition was extremely fierce. After the completion of the three grabs, Fujian's Li Wenwen's 144 kg, Jilin's Fan Yuxin's 135 kg and Meng Suping's 130 kg ranked in the top three. Rising star Li Wenwen is the Tokyo Olympic champion and world record holder, the best of the 3, and there is no suspense in winning the championship, so the silver medal battle is between Meng Suping and Fan Yuxin.
Entering the deadlift competition, the first time, Meng Suping and Fan Yuxin both failed; the second time, Fan Yuxin lifted 160 kg, Meng Suping lifted 166 kg, and the total result was tilted towards Meng Suping; the 3rd time, Fan Yuxin failed to lift 168 kg, at this time the victory and defeat had been divided, Meng Suping had firmly held the silver medal in her hand, but she still resolutely asked for the trial of 172 kg and successfully completed.
Meng Suping, born in 1989 in Ma'anshan City, is the women's weightlifting champion over 87 kg at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, which is her fourth appearance in the National Games.
"1st fourth, 2nd second, 3rd first, 4th second." Meng Suping calmly introduced his experience in the National Games, "There is still a little regret in today's game. The fourth National Games, this session is a ceremony to complete the handover of the old and the new. ”
As a veteran of more than 20 years in the weightlifting arena, Meng Suping has won the respect of young athletes with her perseverance and struggle, but she admits that this is her last time to participate in a major event. "A little older, a little slower to recover, this stage should be handed over to younger athletes, I will go behind the scenes to continue to contribute to the cause of sports in Anhui!" Meng Suping said firmly.
