Tzu Chi Lin 145kg Clean & Jerk (+ Total) World Record at 63kg

By

Meanwhile in Korea … at the 2014 Asian Games.

More World Records being broken. This time it was Tzu Chi Lin from Taipei who Clean & Jerked 145kg for a new C&J World Record.

Together with her 116kg Snatch this is also a new Total WR.

Update: Here is Deng Wei’s All Out 144kg Clean & Jerk from the 63kg. This beat Maya Maneza’s 143kg World Record, but only lasted for 2 minutes as Lin Tzu-chi followed it up with the 145kg above

    The commentators for the Women’s 63kg competition were expressing disbelief over the fact that Lin Tzu Chi increased her best clean and jerk by 12kg in less than 1 year. Between the huge improvements in short time periods and the huge # of world records being shatter, I wonder if there are going to be some massive busts after the games end.

      I know Gregor has repeated on such posts, “I only care about the weight”, however, in saying this I can imagine that he has yet to compete against the effects of a solid pharmaceutical program, or if so, has not sacrificed a great deal of his life to play a game with loaded dice.

      Or perhaps he, like many others, has simply accepted the fact that women’s power sports are the domain of baritone voices, square jaws, pelvic remodelling, and post-adolescent acne.

    Hsu Shu-Ching also had a big improvement, but Lin Tzu Chi is for me the most enigmatic athlete in this games so far…a 26-year old who according to the IWF website never entered an international competition before last year’s Asian Championships comes up and gets two WR’s out of nowhere. WOW!

    I can only imagine Lin, Turieva, Maneza and Deng Wei going head-to-head in Almaty. That would be crazy!

      What the chinese girl did with that 144 kg was absolutely beautiful! For me it was the best moment so far. She couldn’t have done a single gram more 🙂 That jerk is amazing to watch.
