Nothing can stop a true champion! Tokyo Olympic hero Hou Zhihui made a stunning comeback at the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Cup on Monday. After some shaky performances in the Paris Games qualifiers, the 27-year-old Chinese weightlifter rose to the occasion with incredible resilience.
Hou shattered the world record in the women's 49 kg category by lifting an impressive 97 kg in the snatch. Although DPRK's Ri Song Gum matched her lift later in the event, Hou's achievement clinches her spot in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
This remarkable feat not only secures her Olympic berth but also positions Hou as a top contender for her second consecutive gold medal. Her determination and strength continue to inspire weightlifting enthusiasts around the globe.
