The World Weightlifting Championship, held in Pattaya (Taliandia), has put Lydia Valentín to the test less than a year after the Tokyo Olympics and it can be said that the Leonese halter has passed the test on a good note.
Although he could not revalidate his World gold for a small error in snatch and a tremendous exhibition of the Colombian Leidy Solis in two times the feelings offered by the Leon have been excellent.
In spite of the fifth position in starting the differences between the competitors were minimal and Lydia Valentín offered a greater regularity between the two tests, doing a better role in two times and obtaining the bronze medal.
In the Olympic total, with 246 kgs, he had the gold medal in his hand but the Colombian Leidy Solís gave the surprise to make a last uprising of 142 kgs to reach up to 247 kgs in the total and snatch the victory to Lydia.
Despite this, with the silver in the Olympic total and the bronze in two times, the UCAM athlete continues to increase a record of legend and is emerging as a candidate for what would be her fourth Olympic medal in Tokyo 2020.
