[Original title]Guangxi weightlifter went into battle with injuries and broke the snatch record. Unfortunately, he failed in the clean and jerk and missed the medal.
On the evening of October 3, in the men’s 73kg weightlifting final of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Guangxi player Wei Yinting, who represented the Chinese team, ranked first in the snatch of 161kg and broke the Asian Games record for this event. But in the clean and jerk competition, he failed to lift 180 kilograms three times and failed to win the medal.
Indonesian player Abdullah won the gold medal with a snatch of 158 kg, a clean and jerk of 201 kg, and a total score of 359 kg. He also broke the clean and jerk world record and the total score competition record in this event.
After the game, the reporter interviewed Wu Shude, the former Olympic weightlifting champion and current technical director of the Guangxi Weightlifting Team. Wu Shude said: “Wei Yinting snatched 161 kilograms. It can be said that he performed to his best level. This young man can still fight hard.”
However, in the next clean and jerk, Wei Yinting failed in all three attempts. “Compared with the snatch, Wei Yinting’s clean and jerk is slightly weaker. However, he has successfully lifted 190 kilograms. His three failures tonight may be due to his recent knee injury. After the injury, he did not train systematically, and his strength was greatly reduced. “Wu Shude said.
Wei Yinting said in an interview that he had recently changed his clean and jerk movements due to injury. Judging from the competition process, his use was still unstable. Continuous battles and old injuries have affected his technical movements such as cleans and push-ups. (Yu Zhiwei)
