Zulfiya Chinshanlo
Zulfiya Salakharqyzy Chinshanlo (Kazakh: Zülfia Salaharqyzy Çinşanlo; Dungan and Russian: Зульфия Салахаровна Чиншанло; Chinese: 赵常玲 Zhào Cháng Líng; born 25 July 1993) is a Kazakhstani weightlifter.[1] She is a three time world champion and Olympic bronze medalist. CareerDuring 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.[2][3] 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.[4] 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.[5] Chinshanlo earned a gold medal at the 2014 World Championships. This was Kazakhstan's first podium finish at the competition.[6] 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.[7][8] Nationality issuesOn 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.[9] Zulfiya, according to her official profile, is an ethnic Dungan, a Chinese Muslim people of Hui origin. As her first language, she speaks the Dungan language, a relatively recent language that evolved from the Central Plains Mandarin variety of Chinese. 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 more fluently than Russian. She emigrated to Kazakhstan in 2008 along with Maiya Maneza with the approval of Hunan sport officials[10] on a five-year lease contract. She returned to China in 2012.[1][11] 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. However, Kazakhstan sports authorities insist that Zulfiya Chinshanlo is a citizen of Kazakhstan:
On 27 October 2012, Chinshanlo came back from China and announced:
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.[15] Chinshanlo rejected the claim.  Major results
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.[16] They were disqualified and had their Olympic medals revoked on Oct 27, 2016. References
