Weightlifter Yoo Dong-ju, ahead of his ‘third Olympics’, “Men do it three times”



14th place in Rio 2016, 8th place in Tokyo 2021… “Competing for a medal in the third Olympics”


Yoo Dong-ju (30, Jinan-gun Office), who is about to compete in his third Olympics, shouted, “Men three times.”


This means that there will be no regrets at the Paris Olympics. 카지노사이트탑


Yoo Dong-ju, who met at Descente Seoul in Seocho-gu, Seoul, where the Korea Weightlifting Federation-Descente supplies sponsorship agreement ceremony was held on the 30th, said, "I was unable to show everything I had in the previous two Olympics due to injuries," and "I will compete in the Paris Olympics in 100% physical condition“


I also want to compete for medals,” he said.


Yoo Dong-ju ranked 5th with 166kg in snatch, 209kg in clean and jerk, and 375kg in total at the 2024 International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Cup men's 89kg competition held in Phuket, Thailand in April.


The Paris Olympic ranking was also raised from 17th to 10th, and 12 people in each weight class received tickets to Paris.


There was good news soon.


At the Paris Olympics, each country can only send three men and three women, but China excluded Li Dain, ranked first in the men's 89kg class, from the 'participant list'.


At the IWF World Cup, the difference in records between players except Carlos Nassar (Bulgaria), who held a total of 396kg, and Jeison Lopes (Colombia), who recorded a total of 392kg, is not large.


Yoo Dong-ju could also be included in the 'bronze medal candidates' group at the Paris Olympics.


He said, “The competition in the 89kg class has become more intense due to Lee Dain’s absence,” and added, “It is worth aiming for a prize for me as well.”


“I will do my best and play without regrets,” he said.


Yoo Dong-ju ranked 14th in the 85kg class at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and 8th in the 96kg class at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.


He pondered, "I wasn't in good shape in Rio and Tokyo.


I was too nervous," and added, "The World Championships, Asian Games and Olympics are completely different stages.


However, having competed in two Olympics, this tournament was better than the surrounding environment."


“You will be able to focus more on yourself,” he said.


Although he is in his 30s, Yoo Dong-ju introduced himself as “I am a character with growth.”


In fact, Yoo Dong-ju lifted a total of 340kg at the Rio Olympics and 360kg at the Tokyo Olympics, and raised his total record to 375kg at the IWF World Cup last April.


Yoo Dong-ju said, "I confirmed that I am growing through the IWF World Cup.


I will prepare hard for the remaining two months and play the best game of my life at the Paris Olympic Games to be held on August 9 (local time).


The third opportunity that came was “I won’t miss it,” he promised again.
