Chen Lijun Dominates Men’s 67kg Category to Win Gold at World Weightlifting Championships
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – In a remarkable display of strength and skill, Chinese weightlifter Chen Lijun emerged as the undisputed champion in the men’s 67kg category at the 2023 World Weightlifting Championships held in Riyadh. Defying all competition, he secured three gold medals in the snatch, clean and jerk, and overall categories. While this particular weight class is not included in the Paris Olympics, Chen’s triumphant performance serves as a powerful reminder of his exceptional abilities.
During the snatch event, Chen Lijun demonstrated his superiority by flawlessly lifting 145 kilograms in his initial attempt. Not content with that, he further raised the bar by successfully handling 150 kilograms and an impressive 153 kilograms on his second and third attempts respectively, thereby clinching the gold medal with ease.
The clean and jerk segment witnessed Chen’s remarkable prowess once again. He effortlessly managed to lift 175kg on his first try, and then surpassed even that feat by hoisting an impressive 180kg on his second attempt. With the clean and fair, as well as overall gold medals secured after just two attempts, Chen opted not to take his final attempt. What stands out is that his total score of 333kg surpassed his winning performance at the Tokyo Olympics by a single kilogram, indicating a notable improvement in his abilities. However, due to changes in the weightlifting competition at the Paris Olympics, the men’s 67kg category will not be featured as an Olympic event. If Chen aspires to continue his dominance and secure back-to-back Olympic championships, he must either move up to the 73kg class or downsize to the 61kg class.
Iran’s representative from Indonesia secured the silver medal with a total score that fell 12kg short of Chen Lijun’s outstanding performance. Meanwhile, Sahakiyan from Europe and the reigning Armenian champion claimed the bronze medal with a total score of 312kg.
Chen Lijun’s astounding achievement at the World Weightlifting Championships is a testament to his unparalleled skill and dedication. As he solidifies his status as one of the world’s top weightlifters, the weightlifting community eagerly awaits his next move on his quest for Olympic glory.
