[TheSpeeddemosarchive]

this was a world record wanst it?

[Rottetrol54r]

and she only weighs 48kg... im 71kg and im pretty sure i couldnt lift that.... respect

[chuckkenzie615]

What is that? Like 260 lbs. ish?? Just In my head calculation. Impressive none the less

[RxTim]

120kg at 48kg, that's insane. plus, isn't that over 120 because of the 2.5 kilo clips?

[Harrivaara]

Bar is 15kg, so it's 120k

[Morahg]

You sure about the bar being 15kg? I have always used "Olymipic bars" for years and have been told it's 20kg.

[Harrivaara]

I have understood, that the standard bar women use in competition is always 15 kg..

[Morahg]

Okay, if you are right, I stand corrected. However it does seem strange to lower the bar weight for women, after all they are lifting huge amounts of weight.

Anyway, well done China. I am very happy to see you at number one in the medal count :)

The bar is a little thinner and shorter, because women have smaller hands and shorter arms. It's only fair to make an adjustment for that. Note that the bar looks different too. It doesn't have that little knurled area in the middle like the men's bar has.

[madaozeki]

Olympic women's bars are 15kg and slightly thinner than men's bars.

[SrustinLim]

wow.....what strength.

I swear I saw Conte around the corner.

Holy ****! This little Chinese girl puts men much bigger than her to shame.

[ilovedapiggiez]

seriously....225lb clean and jerk...very impressive for some just over 5 feet and a little over 100 lb..

[webgrunt]

She lifted 120kg, which is actually just over 264 pounds.

[kickdim]
