The Olympic Games are always a global spectacle, a celebration of human athleticism, endurance, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. The 2024 Olympics in Paris are set to be no exception, with athletes from around the world coming together to compete at the highest level. For Lycan Fitness, this year holds special significance as two of our own, Neisi Dajomes and Angie Dajomes, will be competing in the weightlifting category, representing Ecuador and showcasing their incredible talents on the world stage.
Weightlifting at the Olympic Games
Weightlifting has been a part of the Olympic program since the first modern Games in 1896. It is a sport that tests the limits of strength, precision, and technique. Athletes compete in two main lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. The snatch involves lifting the barbell from the ground to overhead in one continuous motion, while the clean and jerk is a two-part lift where the barbell is first brought to the shoulders (the clean) and then thrust overhead (the jerk). Success in these events requires not only raw power but also impeccable form and control.
Weightlifting is divided into various weight classes, allowing athletes of different sizes to compete on an equal footing. Each lifter has three attempts at each lift, and their best attempt in each lift is combined to determine their total score. The athlete with the highest total score in their weight class wins the competition, earning the coveted Olympic gold medal.
The Dajomes Sisters: Neisi and Angie
Neisi Dajomes and Angie Dajomes are two sisters whose names have become synonymous with excellence in weightlifting. Their journey to the top has been marked by dedication, hard work, and an unyielding commitment to their sport.
Neisi Dajomes
Neisi Dajomes, born in 1998 in Puyo, Ecuador, has been a trailblazer in weightlifting. She burst onto the international scene with her outstanding performances at the Youth Olympic Games and World Championships. Neisi has consistently demonstrated her prowess in both the snatch and the clean and jerk, setting numerous records along the way. Her dedication and relentless training culminated in a historic moment at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where she won the gold medal in the women’s 76kg weight class, becoming the first Ecuadorian woman to achieve this feat.
Neisi’s success is a testament to her unwavering focus and determination. Her ability to perform under pressure and her strategic approach to competition have made her a formidable force in the world of weightlifting. As she heads into the Paris 2024 Olympics, Neisi is more determined than ever to defend her title and continue her legacy of excellence.
Angie Dajomes
Angie Dajomes, the younger sister of Neisi, is also making waves in the weightlifting world. Born in 2000, Angie has followed in her sister’s footsteps, showcasing immense talent and potential from a young age. She has competed in various international competitions, earning accolades and setting records in her weight class. Angie’s technical skills, combined with her explosive strength, have positioned her as a rising star in the sport.
The bond between the Dajomes sisters is evident in their mutual support and shared passion for weightlifting. Training together has undoubtedly contributed to their success, pushing each other to new heights and setting an inspiring example for aspiring athletes.
