Chen Xiexia (Template:Zh; born January 8, 1983, in Panyu, Guangzhou, Guangdong) is a Chinese weightlifter.
Career
She won three golds at the 2007 World Weightlifting Championships.[1] and the first gold medal for China in the 2008 Summer Olympics in the 48 kg class, setting an Olympic Record by lifting a total of 212 kg.[2]
She also won 3 golds at the 2007 Asian Championships, with a world record of 120 kg in clean and jerk.[3] At the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Gymnasium on Day 1 of the Olympic Games, 152 cm Xiexia, 25, yelled "jia you!" (come on!), and succeeded on all six attempts (snatch: 95 kg; clean and jerk: 117 kg).[4][5][6]
On 12 January 2017 it was announced that because of a doping violation she had been disqualified from the 2008 Olympic Games, and was stripped of her gold medal. Chen Wei-Ling of Chinese Taipei, originally the bronze medalist, was awarded the gold medal instead.[7]
