Eko must feel disappointed because this is the last Olympics in his career. What makes it even more difficult is that, on the previous four occasions, Eko managed to win medals, namely silver (2016 and 2020) and bronze (2008 and 2012).
A thigh injury was the reason why Eko was unable to complete the clean and jerk. Eko’s lingering thigh injury recurred during the warm-up.
“Actually, he was very comfortable in the needle, yes, 135 kg, then 139 kg, but at 139 kg there was a little movement so he was disqualified. So his lift went down from 165 to 162 “Actually, he could lift it, apparently he said the floor was so slippery, and after that he tried again twice with it that he was hurt, so he hurt a lot. ” explained the Chairman of PABSI, Roslan Roeslani, in an interview with journalists after the match.
“He thought he would get a medal if he didn’t get hurt.”
After his retirement, Eko Yuli is said to be focusing on developing weightlifting loyalty to produce talented athletes to become fans.
“He has said that this is his last Olympics and he said that he plans to build a gym for young people and that we are also working together, so that other Eco-ecos would be born from that gym.”
