North Korea's Ri Chong song had an incredible journey to the top of the podium at the 2024 IWF World Weightlifting Championships. Less than a week out from competition and Ri Chong song was barely able to walk. Within a week he defeated Kazakhstan's Aleksey Churkin.

Churkin smiling after losing the gold man, hats off to him. He will win plenty this year and next.

Can't even imagine the pressure these North Korean athletes must feel to compete at their best.

Ri's technique seems really unique. It doesn't resemble the Russian or Chinese style of weightlifting.

My man Ri is grinding through that pain like there is no tomorrow. Is it dumb to train that heavy when u have pain? Definitly. Is it still impressive considering the psychological and physical torment he's going through without hesitation? Oh yeah baby

I’ve been telling people for years that normal people get lower back injuries and get done for for years but Olympic weightlifters often come back in 24 hours to 1 week!
