Talk about a glow-up! Tokyo 2020 champion Hou Zhihui just staged the ultimate comeback at the IWF World Cup, breaking the women's 49kg snatch world record with a jaw-dropping 97kg lift. This after nearly missing her Olympic ticket altogether due to recent struggles – proof that champions thrive under pressure!
The Chinese star's \"Phoenix-from-the-ashes\" moment saw her out-lift rivals like it was a Marvel origin story. But wait – the plot thickened when the DPRK's Ri Song Gum matched Hou's record later. Cue the \"hold my protein shake\" energy!
With this win, Hou not only secures her #Paris2024 spot but also becomes the athlete to watch this summer. Will she defend her Olympic crown? All signs point to \"oui\" – this comeback queen just rewrote the rulebook.
