Chen Yanqing (simplified Chinese: 陈艳青; traditional Chinese: 陳艷青; pinyin: Chén Yànqīng; born May 4, 1979) is a Chinese weightlifter who competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2008 Summer Olympics. She won the gold medal in the 58 kg class in both competitions,[2][3] making her the first woman to win gold medals in weightlifting in two consecutive Olympics.[4]
Chen was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu. She won her first gold medal in 1995 at the Junior Asian Women Weightlifting Championship, and another at a 1998 world championship. She was slated to compete at the 2000 Summer Olympics but was scratched from the Chinese Olympic lineup for strategic reasons a short time before the games began.[3] She has also won the National Games and East Asia Games[5] and set the world record in her weight class in the snatch and lift in 2006.[3]
