On August 9, Beijing time, Chinese player Luo Shifang, who had just won the gold medal in the women's 59kg weightlifting class at the Paris Olympics, revealed in an interview that she was in her menstrual period. But she also said domineeringly that the competition was not as difficult as she imagined.
Luo Shifang said bluntly: "I just happened to have my menstrual period, so I said to myself at the time that this game must be the most difficult game in my career, and it will definitely be very difficult." So I had prepared a lot of difficulties before I went on the pitch, and when I got on the pitch, it seemed to be okay. ”
It can be seen from the live broadcast that during the game, Luo Shifang covered with a "Chinese-style blanket" and lay down and slept for a while. Obviously, the menstrual period still has a great impact on Luo Shifang's body and competitive state. But admirably, even so, she managed to bring out the best in her game.
In the competition, Luo Shifang snatched 3 and all succeeded.The third successful lift of 107kg also allowed her to set a new Olympic record in the women's 59kg snatch category. In the clean and jerk, Luo Shifang successfully lifted 134kg for the second time, also setting a new Olympic record in the clean and jerk.
In the end, Luo Shifang snatched 107kg, jerked 134kg, and won the gold medal with a total score of 241kg, and set a new Olympic record in the snatch, clean and jerk, and Luo Shifang was as much as 5kg ahead of the second place Canada. With Luo Shifang winning the gold medal, the Chinese weightlifting team won the championship in all three events. Once again, it defended the reputation of the "Dream Team".
