From the Olympic Games to the National Games, the popularity of Chinese sports has not diminished. Like the dream team such as table tennis and diving, weightlifting is the dominant sport of the Chinese team, and the domestic competition is even more difficult than the Olympic competition, and the Olympic silver medalist Liao Qiuyun only finished 9th in the women's weightlifting 55 kg competition at the National Games.
On July 26, in the women's 55 kg competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games, China's Liao Qiuyun failed to win the gold medal in the case of all six successful attempts, and unfortunately Liao Qiuyun asked for a 126 kg deadlift weight before the last attempt, although it was easy to succeed, but in the snatching stage, the Philippine player Diaz, who also lifted 97 kg with himself, gritted his teeth and lifted 127 kg in the deadlift, Liao Qiuyun regretted picking silver, He is also the only athlete in the Chinese weightlifting team who failed to win the gold medal.
Afterwards, Liao Qiuyun's coach Zhang Guozheng thought that Liao Qiuyun's results were already good, and there was also news that Liao Qiuyun was unwell and went into battle with injuries. However, from the perspective of the strategy of the game at that time, leaving the last chance to the opponent was actually the biggest problem, plus the opening handle and the weight reduction, which was the main reason for the outside world to criticize Zhang Guozheng's tactical mistakes.
Liao Qiuyun encountered more fierce opponents at the National Games, 22-year-old champion Su Tingting had a total score of 225 kg, which can be won in Tokyo, and the 21-year-old runner-up Yu Linglong's 223 kg was the same as Liao Qiuyun's performance in Tokyo, the top five athletes all achieved a total of 220 kg, while the total result of the third place in the Tokyo Olympics was only 213 kg.
Liao Qiuyun seemed to be in a normal state of competition at this National Games, grabbing 3 times and losing 2 times, only grabbing 94 kg, 3 kg less than in the Olympic Games, ranking only 13th among the 16 finalists, and the highest player Chen Shuying grabbed 102 kg.
The deadlift is Liao Qiuyun's biggest advantage, the world record of 129 kg is held by Liao Qiuyun, but Liao Qiuyun chose not to play again after the first successful attempt of 120 kg in the deadlift stage, the last two called 128 kg but did not come on stage, and finally Liao Qiuyun ranked ninth with a total score of 214 kg, which was also the runner-up at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Liao Qiuyun's performance from the state of the game to the results of this National Games is not satisfactory, in the middle of the competition CCTV weightlifting commentator revealed that Liao Qiuyun has actually postponed knee surgery because of the postponement of the Olympic Games, coupled with the isolation of returning to China, the training is not systematic, and the results of the National Games are not good. Looking at the bandages wrapped around Liao Qiuyun's knees when he played, maybe we really blamed Zhang Guozheng before?
