🏆 In a jaw-dropping display of strength, China's Zhao Jinhong lit up the Asian Weightlifting Championships in Jiangshan, shattering the women's 45kg snatch world record twice in one day—and snagging three gold medals! 🌟
The hometown hero started strong, lifting 80kg on her first snatch attempt. But she wasn't done—Zhao cranked it up to 88kg, smashing the DPRK's Won Hyon Sim's previous record (87kg). Then, in true boss mode, she raised the bar to 90kg, leaving the crowd in awe. 🎉
'I came for the snatch record, and I got it!' Zhao told reporters, though she admitted battling nerves during her clean & jerk attempts. Despite missing her final 111kg lift, she dominated with 100kg in that category, securing a hat trick of golds. 💪
Meanwhile, the men's 55kg event turned into a nail-biter! China's Wang Weidong stumbled early with a technical fault but staged a ✨glow-up✨ comeback in clean & jerk—lifting 146kg to edge Vietnam's Lai Gia Thanh by 1kg overall. Talk about drama! 🥈→🥇
