In the 2023 World Weightlifting Championships Olympic-level men’s 89kg competition that ended in the early morning of September 12th, Beijing time, Chinese player Li Dayin fought tenaciously even though his hand was scratched by the barbell, and won the clean and jerk and overall runner-up. “At times like this, it’s all regarding fighting.” After the game, Li Dayin’s hand was still bleeding, and the flesh on his palm was completely lifted.
A total of 10 people participated in the men’s 89kg Group A finals. In the snatch competition, Li Dayin successfully lifted 170 kilograms at the beginning, but due to the impact of his hand being scratched by a barbell during preparations, he failed to challenge 177 kilograms in the next two attempts, and finally ranked fourth in the snatch. In the clean and jerk competition, Li Dayin successfully lifted 206 kilograms in the first attempt, failed in the second attempt of 213 kilograms despite pain, and struggled to lift the weight in the third, and finally won the clean and jerk and overall silver medals. Another Chinese player, Tian Tao, lifted 168 kilograms in the snatch. Unfortunately, he failed in three attempts in the clean and jerk and had no overall score. The clean and jerk and total score gold medals went to Iran’s Javadi Aliabati. He jerked 215kg in the third lift and the total score was 384kg.
During the interview following receiving the award, the reporter saw Li Dayin’s hand. The skin and flesh of a callus under his ring finger was completely lifted up. The palms of weightlifters’ hands will be covered with large and small calluses, and the skin around the calluses will become thick and hard. Once scratched, the thick skin will be torn open. Lifting more than 200 kilograms of weight with such a wound, the pain from the fingers to the heart is empathetic. “When the snatch lift reached 120 kilograms in the waiting area, my hand cracked and kept bleeding. I had to hold it down, and it would bleed as soon as I opened it.” Li Dayin is the world record holder in the 89 kilogram class snatch and total score. In May At the Asian Championships in Jinju, South Korea, he set a new world record in the snatch lift of 180 kilograms. Such a sudden injury obviously affected his performance, causing him to be unable to use his strengths. “I felt like I was going to fall when I was ready to lift 160 kilograms in the waiting room. It was a little better to lift 170 kilograms on the court and I might hold it. But the latter two did have a greater impact. When I pulled the bell, I mightn’t hold it tightly and mightn’t control it. .” Although the pain affected his performance, Li Dayin still fought hard for the final clean and jerk. “Actually, I was in good shape throughout the game, but the hand injury still caused some mental stress. In the last moment of the clean and jerk, I told myself that I had to fight hard. I was highly focused and the energy was strong.”
Walking into the waiting area, next to the barbell that was stained red by Li Dayin’s blood was a pool of gauze and paper towels that were also stained with blood. They all witnessed the “blood-stained style” of the Chinese strongman. They are good at fighting and have a good style. As long as they step on the field, the members of the Chinese weightlifting team will do their best, even if they use blood and flesh to lift the barbell high.
