In the weightlifting arena of the Tokyo Olympics, as the only "post-00" athlete of the Chinese weightlifting team, Li Wenwen was "small and powerful".

However, just like the Tokyo Olympics, Li Wenwen is a bit stronger than her opponent, and the first attempt of the clean and jerk is completed and the champion is locked.
In the end, Li Wenwen won the gold medal with 144 kg snatch and 176 kg clean and jerk, with a total score of 320 kg.
On that day, Rio Olympic champion Meng Suping performed equally strong, winning the silver medal with a snatch of 130 kilograms and a clean and jerk of 172 kilograms, with a total score of 302 kilograms.
Jilin player Fan Yuxin won the bronze medal with a snatch of 135 kg and a clean and jerk of 160 kg, with a total score of 295 kg.

Li Wenwen said after the game, this is her first National Games gold medal, but it is just the beginning. "I look forward to the challenge of the'Grand Slam' in the Asian Games next year, and the Paris Olympics are only three years away."
Li Wenwen's coach Wu Meijin has set his sights on the longer-term future.
He told a reporter from China News Agency that as long as the women's weightlifting is above 87 kg, they must go forward with Li Wenwen, break through themselves, and win more Olympic gold medals. "Let's enjoy this process together." (End)
