Shen Lijun

(Weightlifting) The Chinese weightlifting team returns to the Asian Games in Hangzhou after their absence from Jakarta five years ago. Thirty-year-old Shen is the only athlete in the squad who competed at Incheon 2014, when he took silver in the 62 kilogram category. At the Tokyo Olympics, Shen clinched 67 kg gold and equaled the Olympic total record of 332 kg. Shen dominated the men's 67 kg at the World Weightlifting Championships earlier this month, pocketing three gold medals in snatch, clean and jerk, and the combined total. Hopes are, therefore, high of repeat performance in Hangzhou.
