2017 Chinese National Weightlifting Championships

By

Meanwhile in China …

It’s time for Chinese national championships, which this year act as a qualifier for the Chinese national games (which I would love to cover, but don’t have the funds for it. Any potential sponsors reading this? ?).

Women’s competition is 8-11th, men’s 15-18th.

85kg

Tian Tao went 190, 206, and 221kg for an unofficial World Record!

      Not much to say, 8-11th women, 15-18th men, two categories per day. No live coverage afaik.

        Thanks! I remember I was able to tune into Tao’s 220 c&j last year and see it live, which was very exciting, so hopefully they play some of the more sensational classes.

    Imagine snatching more than the winner of your category yet still finishing outside to top 10 ! Insane standard of lifting

    Where is Hou (W48kg)? The youngster who almost went to Rio? I think she snatched 90kg or more last year..

    • wlift84 says

      Taking it easy with a 190 total. She should be back to her 210 form by September.

    • GHM says

      Yes, at this point of women weightlifting many good 63-69 kg lifters can finish in top three of 75 and 90 categories. My guess is it will get worse before we see improvement. In my opinion all weight categories have to change for both men and women.

    I guess Liao will take some time to recuperate after all that time off! I was hoping he’d clean sweep the 69’s but I guess I was mistaken

      Liao Hui and Chen Lijun offered nothing too interesting. They didn’t train well; they didn’t train hard. They just wanted to qualify and they did. Chen especially said his strength was very low coming into this comp.

      Lu Xiaojun said that in his old age, his training has to begin earlier than other athletes to recover his strength, but it seems he’s not as old as he thought. He says his recovery went unexpectedly fast and he went into this competition quite strong. But, they still kept with the conservative game plan so he says the weights were so light, he was always unsure, scared to over-pull.

      Tian Tao has a wrist injury and came hoping to make just 1 lift in each category, qualify for the National Games, and go home. He says he hasn’t really trained for a month! Hence, his snatch was quite low and he/his coach decided to forsake the 3rd lift. BUT, entering the clean and jerk, he suddenly found out that CCTV5 decided to live-broadcast it so he wanted to give the audience a show with some better lifts. I’m guessing his wrist injury was an outward-torsional injury that didn’t affect the clean and jerk.

        Seems Liao Hui and Qingquan Long really did take it easy judging by the results. What are the standards to qualify for the National Games?
        Side note: Looking at the 56 kg results really shows the depth of the Chinese team in that category. Many names I recognize from international competition, followed by many more with really good totals.
