Hey there, sports fans! 🏋️♀️ Guess what? China’s Wu Yan just did something amazing at the World Weightlifting Championships in Manama, Bahrain! She won three gold medals in the women’s 87kg category! 🥇🥇🥇
In the first part of the competition, called the snatch (that’s when you lift the barbell from the ground to above your head in one smooth motion), Wu Yan was unstoppable. She lifted 115 kilograms on her first try! That’s like lifting a grand piano! 🎹
But she didn’t stop there. She lifted 120kg next, and then 122kg! By doing this, she went into the next round with an 8-kilogram lead.
In the second part called the clean and jerk (this is where you lift the barbell from the ground to your shoulders, then above your head), Wu Yan lifted 148kg on her second attempt, and then 150kg on her third! That’s seriously heavy! 😲
When you add it all up, Wu Yan lifted a total of 272 kilograms. That’s more than a grand piano and a full-grown panda combined! 🐼🎹
Australia’s Eileen Cikamatana did a fantastic job too! She won two silver medals in the clean and jerk and the total weight, plus a bronze in the snatch. Way to go, Eileen! 🥈🥉
Congratulations to Wu Yan for her amazing achievements! 🎉 She’s a real-life superhero showing us what hard work and dedication can do. Maybe one day, that’ll be you lifting those big weights! Keep dreaming big! 💫
