PARIS, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese weightlifters Li Fabin and Hou Zhihui, both reigning Olympic champions, retained their titles at Paris 2024, while China also clinched its first ever gold in artistic swimming on Wednesday.
After Day 12, the United States top the medal tally with 27 golds, while China remain in second place with 25.
31-year-old Li set an Olympic record of 143kg in the snatch and lifted 167kg in the clean and jerk, totaling 310kg to defend his Olympic title in the men's 61kg weightlifting division in the first weightlifting event of these Olympics.
"I would rate my performance 9 out of 10, the only downside is that my clean and jerk result was not very good," said Li, acknowledging the challenges of achieving perfection at the Olympic Games.
"I had thought about retiring, but the enthusiasm of the crowd today made me hesitant to step away. Even though I'm getting older, I will probably keep pushing forward," he added.
China retained another weightlifting gold medal hours later when Hou Zhihui triumphed in the women's 49kg category. The 27-year-old defending champion lifted 89kg in the snatch and set an Olympic clean and jerk record at 117kg for a total of 206kg, narrowly edging out silver medalist Mihaela Cambei of Romania by 1kg.
In a historic moment for China, the nation secured its first ever Olympic gold medal in artistic swimming. Leading from the first two routines in the team event, China dominated the acrobatic routine with 283.6934 points, ending up with a total of 996.1389 points to win gold.
"It is a great honor that we took Olympic glory for the first time. It was a great honor to make history for our country," said China's head coach Zhang Xiaohuan. "Our girls did a much better job during the three team routines. We were extremely excited to show our best to the world."
