TOKYO, July 28 (Xinhua) Chinese weightlifter Shi Zhiyong won his second Olympic gold medal with a world record-breaking performance in the men s 73kg category at Tokyo 2020 here on Wednesday.
A late challenge by his closest opponent, Julio Ruben Mayora Pernia of Venezuela, pushed Shi to go for 198kg that ties the world record in his third attempt in the clean and jerk, before a new world record in total was born when Shi lifted the dumbbell over his head.

TOKYO Six days a week since she was 12 years old, with only a few days of time away each year, Hou Zhihui has been driven by one mission: heaving more than double her body weight into the air.
On Saturday, at the Tokyo Olympics, Hou’s dedication sequestered from her family, dogged by near constant pain paid off. She won gold in the 49-kilogram division and shattered three Olympic records, part of a fearsome Chinese women’s weight lifting squad that aimed to sweep every weight class it was contesting.
“The Chinese weight lifting team is very cohesive, and the support from the entire team is very good,” Hou, 24, said after winning gold. “The only thing we athletes think about is focusing on training.”
By siliconindia | Thursday, 29 July 2021, 05:32 Hrs The Tokyo Olympics have begun and India is keeping its hope high from its sports gems. Day One has proved to be very good for the Indians as weightlifter Mirabai Chanu won the silver medal in the women’s 49 kg category on July 24. In the second attempt, Chanu lifted 115 kg which created a new record in the Olympics. In the very first go, Chanu aimed for 117kg but could not complete the lift and then in the second attempt, tried for 115kg and won the silver medal. After 21 years, India has finally won a weightlifting medal in the Olympics.
