Won Ju Ri’s Record-Breaking Lift
Won Ju Ri’s new record eclipsed the previous one he held, scored at the 2024 IWF World Cup in early April 2024 in Phuket, Thailand, by a single kilogram. As he approached the barbell with a relaxed aura, he squatted down and screwed in his feet before a couple bounces launched him into his open-mouth clean. His laid-back demeanor and comfort with the bar were on display as his bounciness continued while the bar sat upon his clavicle when he stood up.
