Original title: World Weightlifting Championships: Chen Lijun won three championships in the men’s 67kg category
On the 7th, at the 2023 World Weightlifting Championships held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, Chinese team player Chen Lijun easily dominated the men’s 67 kg competition, winning three gold medals in the snatch, clean and jerk and total score. Although this level is not a competition event in the Paris Olympics, veteran Chen Lijun announced his strong return through this competition.
Chen Lijun had a great advantage in the snatch. He steadily lifted the first 145 kilograms, and successfully lifted 150 kilograms and 153 kilograms in the second and third times respectively. He won the snatch gold medal with his absolute strength.
In the clean and jerk competition, Chen Lijun successfully lifted 175 kilograms in the first attempt and 180 kilograms in the second attempt. After two attempts, he had already secured the clean and jerk gold medal and the total score gold medal, so he gave up the last attempt. It is worth mentioning that Chen Lijun’s total score of 333 kilograms that day was 1 kilogram more than his winning score at the Tokyo Olympics, which shows that he has returned to a relatively high level. Due to changes in the weightlifting events at the Paris Olympics, the men’s 67kg category is no longer an Olympic event. If Chen Lijun wants to achieve two consecutive Olympic titles, he must be upgraded to the 73kg category or downgraded to the 61kg category.
Indonesian player Irawan won the silver medal in the overall score, but his total score was 12 kilograms less than Chen Lijun. European Championship champion Sahakyan of Armenia won the bronze medal with a total score of 312 kg. (Reporters Wang Haizhou and Hu Guan)
