China News Service Client, Beijing, July 26. On the evening of the 26th Beijing time, in the women's 55 kg weightlifting competition at the Tokyo Olympics, Chinese athlete Liao Qiuyun won a silver medal with a snatch of 97 kg, a clean and jerk of 126 kg and a total score of 223 kg.

The Filipino player Diaz lifted 127 kilograms in one last move and won the championship with a 1 kilogram advantage.

  Liao Qiuyun is the world record holder for the women's 55 kg weightlifting clean and jerk and total score. High hopes were placed before the game.

In the clean and jerk competition, Liao Qiuyun succeeded in three attempts and achieved 97 kilograms in the clean and jerk.

In the snatch competition, she also succeeded in three attempts, with a result of 126 kg.

But in the last move, the 30-year-old Filipino veteran Diaz played at a high level, successfully lifting 127 kg, with a total score of 224 kg, winning the Olympic gold medal and breaking the Olympic record for the event.

Liao Qiuyun is in the game.

  Born in 1995, Liao Qiuyun is a Hunan girl. In 2012, she was selected for training in Hunan Provincial Sports School.

Liao Qiuyun showed great talent in weightlifting and insisted on training hard.

But the years of training and competition brought her honors as well as injuries.

  Throughout 2018, she was not trained systematically due to knee injuries, and the results of the game were not ideal.

In an interview, Liao Qiuyun once said: “I’m worried that I have to practice, and I have to continue to improve my grades, otherwise there is no competitiveness.”

  Kung fu pays off. In the women's 55 kg competition in the 2019 World Weightlifting Championships, Liao Qiuyun won a total score of 227 kg and 129 kg and a clean and jerk double, both of which set new world records.

  Although he did not win the Olympic Games, Liao Qiuyun's performance is already good enough.

The 26-year-old has a long way to go, so keep on!
