At the 2005 World Weightlifting Championships she won the silver medal in the 53 kg category, lifting a total of 223 kg (491.6 lbs).[4] At the 2006 University World Championships she won the gold medal in the 53 kg category.[5]

During the 2007 World Weightlifting Championships she suffered an elbow injury, and had to rest for three months.[6]

She won the women's 53 kg class at the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics.[1] She changed her name in 2007 on the advice of a fortune teller who said it would improve her chances of winning the Olympics.[2] Her name was so long that it was listed as "J" on the digital scoreboard during the Beijing Games.[7]
