Son Young-hee, who gave up her gold medal to her junior Park Hye-jeong (20, Goyang City Hall), said, "I feel sad when I think about it, but it is truly amazing that our Hye-jeong, who is 10 years younger than me, is able to overcome difficulties and shine in Korean weightlifting."

‘Like a senior,’ he said.

Of course, I plan to continue my friendly competition with Park Hye-jung.

Son Young-hee ranked second by lifting 124kg in snatch, 159kg in clean and jerk, and 283kg in total in the women's 87kg and over weightlifting competition at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Xiaoshan Sports Center in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, on the 7th.

This is her second consecutive silver medal, following Jakarta Palembang 2018 (then in the over 75kg category).

Son Young-hee, who placed second after North Korea's Kim Kuk-hyang five years ago, gave up the highest spot on the podium to Park Hye-jung, a junior of the national team.

Park Hye-jung's record was a total of 294 kg (125 kg in snatch and 169 kg in jerk and jerk).

With Park Hye-jeong and Son Young-hee taking first and second place, they became the first Asian Games weightlifters to do so since the 1990 Beijing Asian Games.

Kim Byeong-chan (gold medal) and Lee Hyeong-geun (silver medal) in the men's 90 kg class, and Kim Tae-hyun (gold medal) and Jeon Sang-seok (silver medal) in the men's 110 kg class.

For the first time in a year, two Taegeukgi were placed in first and second places.

Son Young-hee, whom we met after the game, confessed, "I wasn't this nervous at the Asian Games five years ago.

This time, I was so nervous that I woke up every hour this morning," and added, "Hye-jeong must have been under a lot of pressure, but she overcame it well.

Hye-jeong It gets better.

After Jang Mi-ran, an athlete who will shine in Korean weightlifting was born.

“I’m glad we won gold and silver medals together,” he congratulated his junior.

Son Young-hee entered the medalist press conference with Park Hye-jung, arm in arm.

On this day, Son Young-hee overcame her injury and won a silver medal.

He said, "I injured my back ahead of the World Championships in Riyadh in September, so I withdrew from the clean and jerk," and "I'm still not 100% better.

I received injections and took painkillers before participating in the competition.

I'm not 100% satisfied with my record, but I'm not 100% satisfied with the injury."

“I’m proud of myself for overcoming it,” he said with a smile.

In 2012, Son Young-hee was the top heavyweight in Korean women's weightlifting for nearly 10 years.

In 2021, she won the World Championships and also achieved silver medals at the Asian Games for the second time in a row.

Recently, she participates in international competitions along with Son Young-hee and Park Hye-jung.

However, the Paris Olympics, which opens next year, sets the standard for the women's heaviest weight class at 81 kg and stipulates that only one athlete per country can compete in the same weight class.

So far, Hye-jung Park, who won the 2023 World Championships, has the advantage to qualify for the Paris Olympics.

Son Young-hee said, "Next year there will be a competition with Paris Olympic ranking points at stake," and "It's not over yet. I will

take better care of my body and increase my weight to continue a friendly competition with Hye-jeong."

Park Hye-jung said, “Son Young-hee is a person who has a good influence on me,” and she said, “Competing with a great senior at home and abroad is a great fortune for me,” she said, revealing her respect for her senior who is ten years older than her.
