The next two successfully lifted 94 kg and 96 kg.

Taking the women’s 49 kg finals as an example, comparing the Tokyo Olympics and the current National Games, only Hou Zhihui in the Olympics snatched more than 90 kg, while the top 7 in the National Games all reached 90 kg or more; in the Olympics, only 4 clean and jerk lifted more than 100 kg. , And the top 14 in the National Games all reached 100 kilograms and above.

　　"I have been involved in weightlifting for 40 years. Hou Zhihui is the most stable and able athlete I have ever seen in competitions. She has tried to lift six of the three consecutive competitions. Today, she is completely relying on her own fighting spirit and gritted her teeth. After the game, Zhou Junfu, the head coach of the Hunan Provincial Weightlifting Management Center, praised his lover.

He revealed that Hou Zhihui's weight dropped to 47 kg after the Olympics, and his primary task during preparations for the war was to gain weight and restore physical fitness.

　　Zhou Junfu said that the IWF may cancel the women's 49kg competition in the future. If it is cancelled, Hou Zhihui will gain weight to a larger heavyweight class and continue to defend the honor of the Olympic champion.
