Do you happen to know what Jiang Huihua has been doing since she won the world title (48kg) as a 17-year old in 2015? I see she's finally back with only junior wolds in 2016 as other major competition since that world title. Any weights or something she has been lifting? 

From 2016 to 2017，Jiang Huihua is falling behind Hou Zhihui and Tan Yayun（2013&2014 world champion），those two athletes both from Hunan province. As the NO.3 in Chinese national team，Jiang Huihua couldn't get some international competition chance.

In 2018，Tan Yayun suffered from some injury，so Jiang Huihua became the NO.2 in Chinese team，and in 2018 Chinese weightlifting championship（September），Jiang Huihua defeated Hou Zhihui and claimed the gold medal（snatch 90kg，clean&jerk 114kg，Total 204kg）.

Thanks! And 204kg is impressive, she seems to be back on her old level then (which should be expected from a teenager to be fair :p )

China also have another new star，in the women's +87 catagory，in 2018 Chinese weightlifting championship（September），Li Wenwen（from Fujian province）defeated Meng Suping（2016 Olympic champion），Li's grade is snatch 145kg，clean&jerk 180kg，total 325kg，this is her first year to compete the national competition.

 

But，Chinese national team still choose Meng Suping to complete the world championship，because she has a lot experience. In 2018 Chinese weightlifting championship（April），Meng lifted 321kg（snatch 140kg，clean&jerk 181kg）and claimed the champion. In this game，Li Wenwen is the runner-up，her grade is snatch 141kg，clean&jerk 175kg，total 316kg.

The Ashgabat website, but it's not live right now and the link is on my other computer  (just go to the homepage and when a D/C/B group is live, there's a big WATCH LIVE thing there)
