Chinese weightlifter Wu Yan delivered a historic performance at the World Weightlifting Championships in Manama, Bahrain, sweeping all three gold medals in the women’s 87kg category! 🌟 The 23-year-old powerhouse left no room for doubt, dominating both the snatch and clean & jerk sessions with textbook lifts.
Wu kicked off her golden run by lifting 115kg in her first snatch attempt, later adding 120kg and 122kg to secure an 8kg lead. 🏋️♀️ She then smashed her clean & jerk with a 148kg second attempt, sealing her victory. A final 150kg lift brought her total to 272kg – cementing her status as the category’s undisputed queen.
Australia’s Eileen Cikamatano claimed silver in clean & jerk and total (257kg), plus a snatch bronze. But the spotlight stayed on Wu, whose triumph continues China’s legacy of weightlifting excellence. 🇨🇳
🏅 When asked about her strategy, Wu grinned: \"I came to lift, not to count medals.\" Mission accomplished! Fans are now buzzing about her potential at Paris 2024. 🔥
