1989

Gong Lijiao (born 24 January 1989) is a Chinese Olympic shot putter and the 2020 Olympic champion in that event.

A three-time Olympic medalist, she holds a record eight medals at the World Athletics Championships, including two World titles.

2007

She finished seventh at the 2007 World Championships, her international debut.

2008

At the 2008 Summer Olympics she finished fifth but received the bronze medal later after two competitors were stripped of their medals because of doping violations.

She set a personal best throw of 19.46 metres in the qualifying round of the 2008 Olympics; this was the furthest mark for a female Chinese shot putter for over a decade.

2009

At the 2009 National Games of China, Gong further improved her personal best to 19.82 m, taking her to tenth place on the all-time Chinese shot putter's list.

She won the bronze medal at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin with a personal best of 19.89 metres.

She won the gold medal at the 2009 National Games of China in Jinan with a personal best of 20.35 metres.

She won the gold medal at the 2009 Asian Athletics Championships in Guangzhou with a personal best of 19.04 metres.

2012

Gong initially finished fourth in the London 2012 Summer Olympics, but was retroactively awarded the bronze medal after the winner, Nadzeya Astapchuk, was disqualified for failing a drug test.

2016

On 20 August 2016, the IOC announced that Yevgeniya Kolodko, the Russian silver medalist, failed an anti-doping test and Gong was therefore upgraded to the silver.

2018

In 2018, Gong won the gold medal in women's shot put during the 18th Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia.

In 2021, she won the gold medal in women's shot put at the 2020 Summer Olympics In Tokyo with her personal best of 20.58 m, thereby becoming the first Chinese athlete to be crowned the Olympic champion in any field event and the first athlete from Asia to win an Olympic gold medal in women's shot put.

At the 2023 World Athletic Championships, Gong won the bronze medal after tying Portuguese thrower Auriol Dongmo's best throw of 19.69 metres and prevailing on countback.

This was her eighth World medal, breaking Ezekiel Kemboi's record for the most medals by an athlete at the championships.
