Won Jeong-sik (Korean: 원정식, born 9 December 1990) is a South Korean weightlifter, Olympian,[1] and World Champion competing in the 69 kg category until 2018 and 73 kg starting in 2018 after the International Weightlifting Federation reorganized the categories.[2]
Won took up weightlifting aged 14 and has a degree from the Korea National Sport University. He is married to the fellow Olympic weightlifter Yoon Jin-hee, they have two children.[1][3]
Career
Olympics
He competed in the 69 kg division at the 2012 Summer Olympics[4] placing 7th overall. In 2016 he competed at the 2016 Olympics in the 69 kg division and placed 8th overall.[5][6]
World Championships
In 2017 he competed at the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships where he won the gold medal in the 69 kg division,[7] in doing so he became the first Korean athlete to win a gold medal in this event.[8] This was his first gold medal at the World Weightlifting Championships and his first major medal (he won a bronze medal in the clean & jerk at the 2011 World Weightlifting Championships).
In 2018 the International Weightlifting Federation reorganized the categories and Won competed in the newly created 73 kg division. He competed in the B session, and in the process of winning the silver medal he set a new world record in the clean & jerk with a lift of 195 kg. This was overtaken later in the day by Shi Zhiyong (who would later win the gold medal) with a clean & jerk of 196 kg, done in the A session.[9]
