Shi does China namesake proud
Print Edition
SHI Zhiyong — renamed after the 62-kilogram world champion in 2004 — followed in the footsteps of his illustrious namesake by winning gold for China in the 69kg category at the world weightlifting championships in Houston, Texas, on Monday.
Shi, 22, was renamed by his coach as a child, and said he was glad to live up to his name. “It means wisdom and courage,” said Shi. “I was still young when my coach gave me the name and I did not know about the 2004 Olympics.
“As I grew up I learned all about Shi Zhiyong and I am proud to say we have met since,” he added.
Oleg Chen of Russia took silver with Turkey’s Daniyar Ismayilov sealing bronze.
Boyanka Kostova of Azerbaijan, meanwhile, set two new world records on her way to claiming gold in the women’s 58kg category.
The Bulgaria-born powerhouse, who switched allegiances to Azerbaijan in 2010, set new records for the snatch (112kg) before adding a new overall total record (252kg) with her final lift.
She failed to add a third record in the clean and jerk, settling for 140kg, but said she is confident of threatening the record at next year’s Olympics. “I will try my best to do it in Rio de Janeiro.”
