Interview with 37 year old 3x Olympic champion Lv Xiaojun:

He says the weights felt very light that day. Coach wanted him to open 165 snatch, he said he bet his coach he can power snatch 160 and asked if he could demonstrate it now in the warm-up room, could they go 170, 174, 177WR as he wants? His coach declined, told him to be safe and get the gold. He opened 165 and missed because it was so light it didn't feel right. Then he got serious and did 165, 170kg. Clean and jerk, he said 204 felt light; he was confident he could do 210. He was ready to do 210 if Pizzolato succeeded, but Pizzolato failed, so with the euphoria of being 3x Olympic champion in him, he wasn't mentally prepared anymore. Still, he gave it a shot, and it felt reasonably light on the clean and recover but at the top, he felt a little wobble in his back to he dumped it. Health is most important and he was already champ so no need to fight.

Most impressively, in 1 month, we will see him again at the Chinese national games competing to extend his reign. He says if all goes well, he plans to be at the world's next year and then, onwards to the 2024 Paris Games, where he will be 40. He'll quit when his body tells him it's time and his numbers aren't enough anymore but not just because other people think he's too old.

Most likely Li Dayin will replace him at 2024 Paris Games. His personal best are snatch 175kg , and C&J 206kg, about as good as Lu Xiaojun. He is just 23 years old, 14 years younger than Lu Xiaojun.

Someone interested in photoshopping CCTV logo over this and see if one on r/WorldNews is dumb enough to fall for the bait? Pls no. They are still preoccupied with the "ongoing nuclear disaster" in China, and how CCP is covering up the "disaster" ala Soviet Union did with Chernobyl

It's no question Lu Xiaojun is one of China's greatest weightlifter. And weightlifting is China's most important event, 7 golds and 1 silver. But it's good to have a strong backup in Li Dayin, being just 23. China's other elite lifters, Deng Wei (woman 64kg) and Tian Tao(96kg) were also injured.
Do you know Tian Tao's current condition of his injury ?

Lu Xiaojun is China's greatest weightlifter. There is no other triple Olympic champion.

Tian Tao is still pissed off that he didn't get selected, throwing a lil' temper tantrum putting up YouTube clips of him washing his green Audi like a retiree. I don't know what's to become of him.
