August 15, 2016, Rio Olympics women's weightlifting 75KG Meng Suping won the championship
On August 15, 2016 (July 13, 2016, the 2016 lunar calendar), Meng Suping won the championship in women's weightlifting 75KG at the Rio Olympics. Meng Suping, the 15th gold medal in women's weightlifting class of 75kg and above, was born in Maanshan City, Anhui Province on July 17, 1989. She joined the Anhui Provincial Team in 2006 and competed on behalf of the national team in 2009. She was runner-up in the snatch class of 75kg and above in the 2011 Asian Weightlifting Championships. She won the championship for the first time in the Olympic Games in 2016. Four days before the opening of the Rio Olympics, Hou Zhihui, a women's weightlifter in the 48kg class, who had already moved into the Olympic Village, suddenly received a notice that due to her own injuries and the suspension of Russian player Tatyana (world record holder), she was transferred out of the lineup by the China weightlifting team, and her replacement will be Meng Suping, runner-up in the 75kg class at the World Championships. The reason why China's weightlifting team made this adjustment was because of the gold medal gap left by Russia's ban. Meng Suping, who completed a total score of 330 kilograms in the Olympic trials, naturally became a popular candidate for the 75kg championship. However, the entry and exit of this Olympic lineup have also brought huge public opinion pressure to Meng Suping and the China weightlifting team. There is no room for loss in this important battle for women's 75kg. At 6 a.m. on August 15, 2016, Beijing time, the snatch competition officially began. Meng Suping, who weighed 120 kilograms, was the last to appear. In the first attempt of 125 kilograms, Meng Suping's center of gravity was unstable and failed. But in the second consecutive attempt, Meng Suping withstood the pressure and completed successfully. She also took this opportunity to surpass North Korean athlete Kim Guo-xiang, who lifted 123 kilograms, and ranked first. For the third attempt, the China team needed to reach 130 kilograms, and Meng Suping completed it in one go. However, in the final move, North Korean player Jin Guoxiang lifted 131 kilograms, overtaking Meng Suping and ranking first. In the clean and jerk competition, Meng Suping increased the starting weight by 10 kilograms during the competition. Meng Suping only appeared after Jin Guoxiang lifted 170 kilograms for the second time. Although Meng Suping lifted the barbell for the first hand of 175 kilograms, three red lights lit up due to his legs failing to stand firm, and his results were invalid; After guest commentator Zhang Guozheng joked "Don't joke", Meng Suping completed her second attempt. This time, she finally completed successfully and put the pressure on her North Korean opponent. Under the pressure of failure or death, Jin Guoxiang then lifted 175 kilograms and completed the anti-lead again. In the final move, Meng Suping had to lift 177 kilograms to win the gold medal. In the end, she lived up to expectations and won the fifth gold medal in Rio for the China weightlifting team. This is also the 15th gold medal of the China delegation.
