Alright, after we saw the women last week, now it’s time for the men’s sessions at the 2014 Chinese national weightlifting championships (schedule).
The 56kg was won by Wu Jingbiao with a 290kg Total, which would have won gold in the 2013 worlds.
- Wu went 128, 132 (at 58:10), x134+ 155, x158, 158 (at 1:57:40).
- Long Qingquan had a pretty good 160kg Squat Jerk attempt, but lost it (at 1:58:45)
- Zhao Chaojun won the C&J with 163kg (at 2:09:40). He got 2nd overall (125kg Snatch)

That attempt by Long was badass!
Zhao Chaojun for the 163kg clean & jerk (+125kg snatch = 288kg total), the silver, and for his place at the 2014 worlds.
Ah thanks
I think he was the 2nd Chinese 56kg at 2011 WWC already.
LOL 62kg clean&jerk vid lifter gets slapped by coach for poor technique 14:39. God damn! 321 must be Chen Lijun’s favorite number cus that’s the 3rd competition he’s won with that…
Huang minghang is the new lifter who totalled 313 (150+163 say hello to mini-Rybakov) and beat Ding Jianjun’s 313 (143+170) on body weight for the chance to go to the worlds
Is Long injured? Why did he switch to squat jerk?
OH MAN! I’ve been lurking here for a while but Liao Hui bombing made me sign up. This is huge. Is he going to get cut? I mean, I’m sure he’s just having an extremely bad day. This is huge, especially with Rio coming up next year.
