Hou Zhihui
China
Chinese weightlifter Hou Zhihui set the women's 87kg class world record (reclassified weight category) with a 117kg snatch, 150kg clean and jerk, and 267kg total. Hou won gold at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and carries on the formidable tradition of Chinese women's weightlifting. Lifting more than five times one's body weight is a stunning demonstration of biomechanical extremes, regardless of gender.
