International Online Report (Reporter Lin Chen): On the 28th local time, Chinese weightlifting star Wang Ming... Wang Mingjuan won the championship in the women's 48kg final at the London Olympics with a snatch of 91kg, a clean and jerk of 114kg, and a total score of 205kg, winning the Chinese team's second gold medal since the start of the Olympics.

"The winner is Wang Mingjuan from the People's Republic of China with a total score of 205 kilograms (cheers and screams)!"

When the host called out Wang Mingjuan's name, the entire EXCEL Center Weightlifting Hall erupted. All the Chinese spectators turned up their screams to the maximum decibel level. At this moment, Wang Mingjuan was extremely peaceful. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and explained her mood at the moment with a calm smile.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Wang Mingjuan as becoming famous at a young age - starting from her participation in the World Championships in 2002, she has won four World Championships and two Asian Games. However, the door to the Olympics was always closed to her; in 2004, she missed the Athens Olympics due to a left knee injury. Four years ago in Beijing, she competed with three world championship champions, Chen Xiexia and Yang Lian, for an Olympic spot. That time, it was still Wang Mingjuan who was disappointed. After that, she even thought about quitting.

After nearly 12 years in the Chinese weightlifting team, the 27-year-old finally caught the last train to London. At the last moment when the Chinese Sports Delegation announced the entry list for the London Olympics, Wang Mingjuan beat world championship champion Tian Yuan to qualify for the women's 48kg category. In the previous Olympic trials, Wang Mingjuan lost to Tian Yuan. Therefore, Wang Mingjuan came to the unfamiliar Olympic Games venue with controversy and doubts. Now, a domineering gold medal has brought her bumpy sports career to perfection. Facing the reporter's microphone, Wang Mingjuan didn't have much to say. She just felt that the arrival of this day was enough to repay all her efforts, "Thank you, thank you, I really thank everyone who has been helping me. I hope that my joy and my gold medal can be shared with you. I have realized my dream in 12 years, and all the pain, fatigue, and tears are worth it!"

As Wang Mingjuan said, there were many people who supported and helped her along the way. In the weightlifting hall that day, countless Chinese spectators cheered for her with their own applause and shouts. Xiao Wu, a Chinese student from the University of Birmingham, made a special trip to cheer for Wang Mingjuan. She told reporters incoherently that she couldn't help but hear the name of an Olympic champion from her motherland in a foreign land, "It's so exciting and so cordial! Because many here pronounce the last name at the end. He (the host) pronounced the last name at the front, so kind and cordial!"

As an athlete who debuted at almost the same time as Wang Mingjuan, Chinese men's weightlifting star Zhang Guozheng has already become famous. Now in London, he is a TV commentator. Zhang Guozheng believes that an Olympic gold medal allowed Wang Mingjuan to achieve a Grand Slam in her personal career, and all the unhappiness and sadness are insignificant at this moment, "Happiness always comes late, but it still comes. (She) has won championships in all competitions, except for the most important Olympics. (This championship) (is) a kind of consolation and consolation for the kind of sports career she has experienced. It's worth it, it's worth it!"
