TOKYO (Reuters) - China’s Hou Zhihui, current world record holder in the lightest women’s category, may smash her own record on Saturday when the Tokyo 2020 weightlifting begins, and take the first gold for her country.
Hou, who holds the world record in snatch with 96 kg, is going up against India’s Mirabai Chanu, who holds the world record with 119 kg in clean and jerk. However, with 213 kg in total, Hou holds the world record in that category, too.
There are two Olympic lifts: the clean and jerk, and the snatch. Each athlete is allowed three attempts at each lift. The best lift in each is combined to determine the overall total. Athletes must successfully attempt the snatch before proceeding to the clean and jerk.
