Previously in China … at the 2009 Chinese National Games.
Wlift84 is scouring CNTV for all the hidden weightlifting gems and here are two nice ones.
Wang Mingjuan and Yang Lian Snatch 99kg at 48kg, one kilogram above the current world record. Both also beat the total world record.
Wang went 99/121 (also above WR at that time)/220.
Yang Lian still holds the official snatch/total WR with 98/217.
Here she went 99/119/218
Also at this competition a 16 year old Tian Yuan went 93/117/210 (unofficial YWR) and cleaned 123 twice.
Wow!!! These girls are unbelievable!
what has happened to Yang Lian now?
She retired after the 2013 National Games.
