Park Hye-jung (21, Goyang City Hall), the “Ace” of Korean weightlifting, is trying to win her second consecutive World Championship title. 온라인바카라
Twenty Korean historians, including Park Hye-jeong, will participate in the “2024 World Weightlifting Championships” in Manama, Bahrain, from the 6th to the 15th.
Park will compete in the women’s most weight class (87kg or higher) event at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Korean time. Park is the defending champion of the event.
He ranked first in all three categories at the 2023 World Weightlifting Championships in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in September last year, with 124kg in impressions, 165kg in Yongsang, and 289kg in total.
Park Hye-jung, who became the top athlete based on this competition, won a ticket to the Paris Olympics in April with a new Korean record in the women’s weight class (87kg or higher) at the 2024 International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Cup, and won a silver medal (131kg in the top weight class (81kg in the top weight class, 168kg in the top weight class, 299kg in total).
Park Hye-jeong, who is drawing attention from the world weightlifting community, is a strong candidate for the championship. Another good thing is that Li Wenwen (24), a gold medalist at the Paris Olympics, will not be able to participate.
In order for Park Hye-jeong to win her second consecutive title, she needs to overcome another Chinese strongman, Li Yan (20).
Li Yan won the first East Asian Weightlifting Championships held in Seocheon, Chungcheongnam-do, in September, beating Park Hye-jung, who had a total of only 286kg, with a total of 310kg in the women’s 87kg or higher class.
It was a shocking result for Park Hye-jung, who thought there would be no opponent other than Lee Won-won.
This match is important because if Park Hye-jung cannot overcome Lee Yan, who is coming up scary, she cannot guarantee a gold medal not only at this competition, but also at the next Asian Games or Olympics.
In addition, Son Young-hee (31, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province), the 2021 Uzbekistan World Championship champion, is also considered a favorite to compete against Park Hye-jung.
Meanwhile, 20 North Korean players (10 men and women each) also challenged the event.
Since the 2019 World Championship in Thailand, North Korea’s weightlifting has been absent from the World Championship due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), but it will compete with world athletes again for the first time in five years.
