Deng Wei: try not to break three world records next time

Xinhua News Agency, Ningbo, April 24 (reporter Xia Liang) Deng Wei failed to fulfill his “promise” that he did not break the three world records before the match in the 2019 Asian national championship of weightlifting and 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games qualifier held in Ningbo on the 24th “, in the women’s 64kg class competition, the world record maintained by themselves was three times to win the championship.

Deng Wei, who broke three world records in last year’s world championships and this year’s World Cup respectively, said in an interview with the media before that she was a little tired recently, so the team asked her to “relax” a little in the Asian championship “. She said: “The Asian championship still needs to strive to break the world record, but it may not break the three world records.”

In the snatch competition, Deng Wei’s main opponent was Jin Xiaoxin from North Korea, who was the gold medal winner of this level in the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games. In the competition, Jin Xiaoxin broke the 113kg snatch world record held by Deng Wei in the third place with a score of 114kg. One minute later, Deng Wei rewrote the world record with a score of 115 kilograms in the last trial.

“Because it reaches 115 kilograms during training, it is also very relaxed during the competition.” Deng Wei said after the game that he felt very good in the game, but because the weather was stuffy, he still felt a little tired during the game.

The following jerk competition, whether Jin Xiaoxin or Cui Xiaoxin, another player from North Korea, did not pose a substantial threat to Deng Wei. After Cui Xiaoxin, the runner-up of the Rio Olympic Games, failed in the last trial of 137 kilograms, Deng Weikai had already locked the champion in the clean and jerk.

At this time, Deng Wei seemed to have completely forgotten his “promise” before the competition. Under the condition that he had already won the three championships, the second one chose to continue to launch an impact on the world record of the jerk, the weight of the barbell was added to 142kg. With the success of the second trial of Deng Wei, the new world record of clean and jerk was born, and the world record of total score was also rewritten.

From maybe not breaking three world records before the competition to three world records in the competition, Deng Wei laughed at the reporter’s question about his words not counting: “Because the world record is relatively low now, the training level has reached this result.”

“In the next competition, will it only break the world record a little?” The reporter asked.

“I try my best.” After that, Deng Wei left with a smile.
