Chinese Taipei鈥檚 double Olympic champ retires
Print Edition
Double Olympic champion Hsu Shu-ching of Chinese Taipei will not go for a third gold at Tokyo in 2020 after announcing her retirement following a spate of injuries.
It is the end of a remarkable run for the 27-year-old 53-kilogram class world record holder, who sensationally grabbed gold at the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro. Later that year Hsu became the first Chinese Taipei athlete to win two Olympic golds after her silver medal from London 2012 was upgraded when winner Zulfiya Chinshanlo of Kazakhstan failed a dope test. In a surprise announcement on her official Facebook page on Sunday, Hsu brought an abrupt end to her professional lifting career, saying she will not defend her Asian Games title in Jakarta, Indonesia, in August. Four years ago at the Incheon Asiad she set the combined world record of 233kg. Hsu blamed chronic knee problems and a severe elbow injury at the 2017 world championships, adding that she had come to the decision after discussing it with her coach, doctors, and the Chinese Taipei weightlifting association. 鈥淭o date, I am still rehabilitating and I haven鈥檛 been able to fully invest in my training,鈥 she posted. Hsu said she felt 鈥渞egretful鈥 and 鈥渞eluctant鈥 about her decision.
