Li wenwen, the strongest women's weightlifter in the world, returned to the platform after injury last year with her biggest performance of the entire Olympic cycle. Watch the full session 👉 www.weightliftinghouse.tv
What an athlete. What a MONSTROUS performance. And as physical therapist, so epic that she suffered a severe elbow dislocation and not only rehab herself enough to go back competing, but even gettin better. It truly is out of scale: not many athletes in any sport can or did that. Phenomenal
@@21sausage9She won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics women's unlimited weightlifting category, beating the second-place competitor by 37 kilograms.
New here and loving these videos. Can someone please explain to me what's up with the pre-lift screaming? I've seen it in several other videos from this some competition. What purpose does it serve, and does the audience traditionally respond in the same way? There seems to be an athlete - audience connection of some sort. I hope this doesn't sound ignorant; I'm just new to the sport and curious.
@@petermarkohesse1820and yet she’s getting medals while you’re getting upset on the Internet. Kind of sad and pathetic really. You’re probably the kind of person whose children don’t really want to see them anymore.
Powerlifting an awesome sport. I just kinda wonder about how, I imagine you not allow to 'tweak' the mechanism, as in like experiment with alternate stretching and exercises, cuz if you tweak something, the whole structure fail on a big lift. People, who not pro athlete, have the option to seriously tinker with area of body for flexibility or strength. Li Wen Wen pretty awesome. Gonna be fun to watch her in Paris. Chinese summer team this monster, gobble up all the medal. I would like to see host team beat the 'usual' top 3 in medal count. Wonder if it possible.
Aside from weightlifting, China usually does pretty well in Table Tennis, Shooting and Diving. There is a diver that's already 2 times olympic champion. But yeah, probably not as as dominant as Li WenWen is.
She is a dead cert for the🥇; herhuge belly lowering and anchoring her centre of gravity , then those massive thighs and strong arms ( plus fluid , flawless technique) propelling those gargantuan weights upwards above / beyond her head, whew !! 😅
Simple biomechanics, mass moves mass. Its easier to train as hard as you can to lift as much as possible while gaining weight accordingly than trying to stay lean and hit those same numbers. In my opinion, if she decided to drop to a normal BMI weight class, she'd still win.
@@marledanimefan7186 "mass moves mass" is a meaningless statement. Only mass already moving that has momentum can pass that onto other things. The same muscles are required to lift the barbell as get her body physically moving in the first place. The question is valid, but the answer is much more complicated than this.
Strongest woman in the world, and she looks like a sweetheart too. 😊 But it makes me sad that she doesn't smile once. I wonder if her coach, and her culture, are pushing her too hard at the expense of her health.
nuh, chinese weightlifting at the olympic level isn't like that anymore, they give the atheletes a lot more room to breath nowadays. theres a few videos of her around being jovial. This was her first international comp back, gotta show everyone who the boss is.
If you come to a conclusion about a culture of 1.4 billion people based on one individual, you might want to check what kind of narrative & misinformation about China you've been fed to.
@@vfxforge Good point. I've always liked Olympic lifting, but I've never paid much attention until recently. (Thanks, RU-vid uploaders!). Still have a lot to learn.
@@user-xb5yw5ph3n True! I just wonder how hard is "too hard". Look at all the "sports entertainment" wrestlers who died young. Or Ronnie Coleman, the GOAT of bodybuilding. Today he can't walk unassisted, and he lives in constant pain.
