my country's national weightlifter at the Nagoya Asian Games, Chen Guanling from Hsinchu County, won the bronze medal in the women's 57kg category today with an outstanding performance of 95kg in the snatch and 122kg in the clean and jerk, for a total of 217kg! When the aforementioned good news came back to her hometown, County Magistrate Yang Wenke expressed warm congratulations and thanked her for bringing glory to Taiwan and Hsinchu County.

The county education bureau stated that Chen Guanling is only 21 years old, making her the youngest person in the weightlifting world in our country at this Asian Games. Three years ago, she made her debut at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, finishing 4th in the women's 55kg category. Subsequently, she received gold medals at the Asian Championships and World Championships, and her technical and psychological qualities gradually matured. Later, from the Universiade to the Asian Games, she adjusted her weight and competed in the 57/58kg category, winning gold medals.

In today's competition, she showed a high degree of resistance to pressure when she failed in the clean and jerk for the first time. She adjusted her condition and performed stably in the second and third times. She finally completed the movement smoothly. She even cried with joy after the game. She successfully turned her hard training into a medal to motivate herself.

Their coach Xu Yingxi said after the game that she was very grateful for the support from her hometown and they will continue to work hard in the next competition!
