Park Hye-jung and the coaches, who competed for silver, played well as planned and finished second.
However, it was regrettable in the third period of the final Yongsang.
In the women’s 81kg or higher weightlifting competition held at South Paris Arena 6 in Paris, France on the 11th (local time), Park Hye-jeong ranked second after Li Wen (China), who totaled 309kg with 131kg of impressions, 168kg of Yongsang, and 299kg.
On this day, Park Hye-jung succeeded in 123kg in the 1st, 127kg in the 2nd, and 131kg in the 3rd, setting a new Korean record for the 1st increase (the previous record of 130kg).
In Yongsang, he also secured a bronze medal by succeeding 163kg in the first and 168kg in the second.
Emily Campbell (England), ranked third with an increase of 126kg, applied for 174kg in the third period of Yongsang after seeing Park Hye-jeong’s record trend.
It was too much of a weight, but Campbell also made a bold attempt as he secured the third place.
Park Hye-jung applied for the third 173kg of Yongsang, and the coaches, including Jeon Yong-sung, head coach of the weightlifting team, missed the “weight change time” while contemplating whether to increase the weight of the application.
In the end, Park Hye-jung rushed to the platform.
Weightlifting is judged successful when the barbell is lifted within a minute after the alarm goes off.
Most of the players get on the platform with about 40 seconds left and pick up the barbell.
However, in the third period of Yongsang on the day, Park Hye-jeong climbed onto the platform without properly filling her belt with about 10 seconds left. She hurriedly put on her belt and tried to hold 173kg, but missed the barbell.
Yongsang’s 173kg is 3kg heavier than Park Hye-jeong’s Korean record of 170kg.
I wasn’t sure of success, but it’s a pity that Park Hye-jung got on the platform in such a hurry due to the coach’s mistake.
As Campbell failed to weigh 174kg in the third period of Yongsang as expected, Park Hye-jeong was confirmed to be in second place.
Although the color of the medal did not change, the coach’s judgment was regrettable.
Park Hye-jeong was disappointed for a moment, but she understood the coaching staff because it was a mistake that came out in such an urgent situation. Park Hye-jeong said, “The coaching staff also apologized for me.”
