World Weightlifting Championships: Luo Shifang wins three Olympic gold medals in women’s 59kg category – Xinhuanet
Xinhua News Agency, Riyadh, September 8th. According to the official website of the International Weightlifting Federation, at the 2023 World Weightlifting Championships held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, on the 8th, Luo Shifang of the Chinese team won the snatch, clean and jerk and all in the women’s 59kg category at the Paris Olympic Games. A total of three gold medals.
At last year’s World Weightlifting Championships, the Chinese women’s team only missed the overall gold medal in the 59kg category in the Olympic-level competitions they participated in. Luo Shifang only finished fourth overall. After nearly a year of dormancy, “Hunan girl” Luo Shifang came prepared this time, and finally won three gold medals with a snatch of 107 kilograms, a clean and jerk of 136 kilograms, and a total score of 243 kilograms. Ukrainian player Konotop ranked second in the total score, and 18-year-old Chinese team player Pei Xinyi won the bronze medal in the total score with 232 kg.
Konotop, the champion of this level at this year’s European Championships, was aggressive in the snatch section, trailing Luo Shifang by only 1 kilogram. After the start of the clean and jerk competition, Luo Shifang showed her advantages. Not only did she start with a high weight, but she also succeeded in all three attempts. On the other hand, opponent Konotop was not as strong as Luo Shifang in the clean and jerk, and he failed in the last lift. In the end, the total score gap between the two widened to 7 kilograms.
Luo Shifang said in an interview after the game that after missing the overall gold medal at the World Championships last year, her motivation was to tell herself that there was still room for improvement. “I’m constantly improving, both in terms of experience and confidence,” she said.
