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.

Conclusion

The 2024 IWF World Championships have concluded, and the results are in. Won Ju Ri’s impressive performance has set a new clean & jerk world record, and he has taken the gold medal with a total of 336 kilograms. The competition has showcased the world’s best weightlifters, and we look forward to seeing what’s in store in the coming months.
