Hanoi (VNS/VNA) – Tran Minh Tri took home two gold medals to help Vietnam return home with five golds in total from the ongoing World Youth Weightlifting Championships in Spain.
Competing against seven rivals in the men's 67kg class, SEA Games champion Tri was successful in all three attempts, winning the silver with 142kg in the snatch event.
In the clean and jerk, he was unsuccessful in the first lift of 168kg but managed well in the second attempt. Trii increased the weight to 171kg and met no difficulty in lifting it up for a gold medal.
In total, Tri's combined 313kg placed him in the top position, giving the regional champion his second gold. The result was even better than his achievement at the 32nd SEA Games last May, where he lifted 306kg to win gold and set a new record.
Earlier, K’Duong and Do Tu Tung had also won three golds for Vietnam in the men's 55kg class.
K'Duong excelled in the snatch event, with a best lift of 115kg winning the first gold. He made it up to 138kg in the clean and jerk to earn a bronze. His total of 253kg was the best among all rivals in his class, helping him earn his second gold.
Meanwhile, 2023 champion Tung was disappointed in the snatch, as he failed to lift 112kg in all three attempts and finished at the bottom.
The clean and jerk was not much better, as he failed to lift 138kg the first time and 140kg the second. However, the former champion successfully lifted 140kg in his last attempt which was also the best result among rivals, leading to a gold for the Vietnamese.
Vietnam sent four athletes to the competition and has earned five golds, one silver and one bronze medal so far.
The world championships will last until Septemb🍌er 27, featuring nearly 370 competitors, including 168 women, from around 60 countries./.
