Olympic superstar Li Wenwen just proved she's still unstoppable! 💪 The Chinese weightlifter, who battled a career-threatening elbow injury in 2023, stormed back to claim three gold medals at the IWF World Cup in Phuket, Thailand, on Wednesday.
Competing in her first major event since missing the Hangzhou Asian Games, Li dominated the women's +87kg category like a boss 🏆—smashing her own snatch record with 145kg (beating her Tokyo 2020 mark of 140kg!) and lifting 180kg in clean & jerk for a jaw-dropping 325kg total. Talk about leveling up! 🚀
Fans worldwide cheered the 23-year-old's resilience: "This is what champions are made of," tweeted one admirer. With this win, Li cements her status as the queen of super-heavyweight lifting—and a top contender for Paris 2024. 🇫🇷✨
