Career

Xiang Yanmei started lifting weights as a teenager. She starts for the national team of the Hunan Province . At a height of 1.67 meters, it lifts in the weight class up to 69 kg body weight.

Her first appearance at an international championship was at the 2011 Asian championship in Tongling / China. She started there with a body weight of 69.84 kg in the weight class up to 75 kg and achieved a duel performance of 261 kg (115-146). With this performance, she won the title in a superior style in front of Tatiana Chromova from Kazakhstan, who came to 223 kg (100-123). She also won the Asian championship in the individual disciplines of snatching and pushing. In 2011 it was also used at the World Cup in Paris. She achieved 264 kg (116-148) in a duel in the weight class up to 69 kg. With this performance she finished second behind Oksana Slivenko from Russia, who achieved 266 kg (118-148). She also took second place in snatching and pushing.

In April 2012, Xiang Yanmei was Chinese champion with a duel of 271 kg (120-151). She referred Kang Yue , who also came to 271 kg (122–149), to second place because of her lower body weight. However, it was not used at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The reason for this was the quota regulation for the starting places determined by the IOC. According to this regulation, China only had four starting places for the 7 weight classes in women's weightlifting. As a result, a weightlifter like Xiang Yanmei, who would have had a good chance of winning the gold medal , could not be employed.

At the Chinese championship in April 2013, Xiang Yanmei won the title again with 265 kg (115-150). She referred Chen Yujuan, who achieved 251 kg (106-145), to 2nd place. In September 2013, she finished 2nd at the Chinese National Games. Their duel performance there was 265 kg (120-145). The winner Xie Hongli also came to 265 kg (111–154), but was a little lighter than her. At the 2013 World Championships in October 2013, Xiang Yanmei was preferred to Xie Hongli. She justified this trust and won the world title with a duel of 271 kg (123-148). She also won the individual disciplines snatch and push.

In September 2014, Xiang Yanmei also won the Asian Games in Incheon / South Korea in the weight class up to 69 kg. She achieved 268 kg (118–150) in a duel.
