Timeline

1993

Zulfiya Salakharqyzy Chinshanlo (Зүлфия Салахарқызы Чиншанло; Зульфия Салахаровна Чиншанло;, born 25 July 1993) is a Kazakhstani weightlifter.

She is a three time world champion and Olympic bronze medalist.

However, according to official Kazakh records, Zulfiya was born 25 July 1993 in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Her father Salakhar Chinshanlo is a businessman who speaks fluently both Russian and Dungan language.

Chinese media says her father is Guisheng Zhao (赵贵生), from Hunan Province, a baker running a bakery in her hometown - Daoxian (道县), who only speaks Mandarin Chinese, he also once said "bring my daughter back (from Kazakhstan)".

And in the video we can see her contract with Kazakh.

She and Yao Meili (Yao li) aka Maiya Maneza were sold to Kazakhstan (reporters believe) for $25,000 each and then became Kazakh citizens.

Chinshanlo rejected the claim.

2008

She emigrated to Kazakhstan in 2008 along with Maiya Maneza with the approval of Hunan sport officials on a five-year lease contract.

2012

During the 2012 London Olympics, Chinshanlo was placed first in the Women's 53 kg weightlifting along with setting a new world record in the clean and jerk by lifting 131 kg.

However, the validity of her record and title was called into question by a positive blood test result for the banned steroids oxandrolone and stanozolol, and she was "provisionally suspended" by the International Weightlifting Federation.

On 8 November 2012, Kazakhstan London Olympic champion Zulfiya Chinshanlo got the Olympic Council of Asia award as the best Asian athlete, along with Ilya Ilyin and Olga Rypakova.

Zulfiya, according to her official profile, is an ethnic Dungan and speaks a Chinese language (Dungan language) as her first language.

According to Chinese official media Xinhua News, Zulfiya was born and grew up in Hunan Province, China, thus she has a Chinese name and can speak Chinese much more fluently than Russian.

She returned to China in 2012.

Chinese media wrote that the weightlifter received her Chinese ID in the Public Security Department of Changsha city on 22 October and was going to join the Chinese national team, because her 5-year contract with Kazakhstan allegedly expired.

But Kazakhstan sports authorities insist that Zulfiya Chinshanlo is a citizen of Kazakhstan:

"'Zulfiya Chinshanlo is our sportswoman. I don’t know why foreign media is discussing a change of her citizenship. She is a citizen of Kazakhstan. She had been living and training in Kazakhstan since she was 14. No official claims have been submitted to our Agency or the Weightlifting Federation. Zulfiya was on vacation and decided to visit her relatives in China. After a break she will go back to training for the world championships and the next Olympics as a member of Kazakhstan national team,' Agency for Sports and Physical Culture Talgat Yermegiyayev said."

On 27 October 2012, Chinshanlo came back from China and announced:

"'I would like to say that everything written about me in China is not true. I have proved it by coming back to Kazakhstan and being here right now. I would like to thank everyone who supported me. Once again, all these rumors are lies and I don’t want to return to discussing this issue again.'"

2014

Chinshanlo earned a gold medal at the 2014 World Championships.

This was Kazakhstan's first podium finish at the competition.

In July 2021, she represented Kazakhstan at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

She won the bronze medal in the women's 55 kg event.

2016

On 27 October 2016, the IOC stripped her of both her gold medal and world and Olympic records as a result of her doping positive.

In June 2016, IWF announced that retests of the samples taken from the 2012 Olympics indicated that Zulfiya Chinshanlo had tested positive for prohibited substances, namely Oxandrolone and Stanazolol.

Three other Kazakhs failed the doping test: Ilya Ilyin, Maiya Maneza and Svetlana Podobedova.

They were disqualified and had their Olympic medals revoked on Oct 27, 2016.
