Guo Meuchun won the bronze in the women's 61kg weightlifting class at the Nagoya Asian Games and tied the world record in the snatch

"Weightlifting Goddess" Guo Meuchun once tied the world record in the women's 61kg weightlifting class at the Nagoya Asian Games today. She lifted 107kg in the snatch and finally won a bronze medal with a clean and jerk of 130kg and a total of 237kg. She has stood on the podium in two Asian Games. She, who has always been emotional, deliberately held back tears this time. She said, "Because I had a breakthrough in the snatch, I felt great about myself, so I didn't cry!"

The 32-year-old Guo Meuchun has outstanding military achievements. She has won 1 gold and 2 bronze medals in the Olympics, 5 gold medals in the World Championships, and 1 gold and 1 bronze medal in the Asian Games. She won the women's 59kg bronze medal at the last Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2022. This is her fourth Asian Games. Although She has always been injured, but she still maintains her competitiveness. Especially in the third snatch, she lifted 107 kilograms, which once tied the world record. When interviewed, she said with joy: "I know other athletes will break it later, but I just want to be one!"

Guo Meuchun, who has always been injured, said frankly that her performance has been stuck in the past two years, and she has been stuck in the snatch of 100 kilograms and the clean and jerk of 130 kilograms. She is very happy to have a breakthrough in the snatch this time. "So I can't cry!" She also laughed and said that this was the rare time that she did not shed tears in an interview after a competition, but she was still forced to have a little red eyes.

Guo Meuchun pointed out that facing the attack of young athletes from North Korea and China, she actually expected to win the bronze medal before the game, but she also thought about whether she could upgrade the quality of the medal, so she directly challenged the 138 kg clean and jerk. "It's a pity, but it's still great!" She also emphasized that she will continue to fight hard on the court. There will be the World Championships next, and she will also want to get Olympic tickets in the future.
