Liu Hong

Retaining the Olympic 20km race walk title she won in Rio proved to be just beyond Liu Hong, but she still did the nation proud by battling to a bronze medal in the stifling heat of Tokyo. After winning gold in Rio, Liu took time out from her sport to become a mom, but returned to competition in 2019, when her daughter was barely a year old. The 34-year-old admitted that taking on her younger rivals, as well as taking care of her daughter, was tough going at times. "I'm really proud of myself. I have made it and I surpassed myself," said Liu.
