叙利亚年轻举重冠军米尔甘·哈吉年仅17岁，在追求更多国际赛事佳绩的同时，也致力于帮助新一代女孩在举重运动中增强体能与自信。
Young athlete hopes girls she trains in Raqqa will one day compete on world and Olympic stages At just 17, Syrian weightlifting champion Mirgan Haji is pursuing further international success while helping a new generation of girls develop their strength and confidence in the sport.
哈吉9岁时在叙利亚北部城市拉卡开始练习举重。近九年后的今天，她仍在同一家健身房坚持自己的训练，并将自己在国家级和国际级比赛中积累的技术传授给更小的女孩们。
Haji began weightlifting at age 9 in Syria’s northern city of Raqqa. Nearly nine years later, she continues her own training at the same gym while teaching younger girls the techniques she learned during her rise through national and international competitions.
这位年轻运动员在2023年的首秀锦标赛中获得亚军，随后在2024年和2025年的比赛中夺得冠军。
The young athlete finished second in her first championship in 2023 before taking first place in competitions held in 2024 and 2025.
2026年，她参加了叙利亚共和国锦标赛和世界锦标赛资格赛，据称打破了世界纪录并获得了国际大赛的参赛资格。哈吉在8月举行的南非世界锦标赛上带回了四枚奖牌。
In 2026, she competed in the Syrian Republic Championship and world championship qualifiers, where she said she broke world records and secured a place at the international event.
“我参加了2026年的共和国锦标赛和世界锦标赛资格赛，”她告诉阿纳多卢通讯社，“我再次打破世界纪录并获得了世界锦标赛参赛资格。我在南非的比赛中获得了三枚金牌和一枚银牌。” 哈吉表示，她曾获得2025年另一场世界锦标赛的参赛资格，但因签证困难未能成行。随后她在卡塔尔西亚锦标赛资格赛中获得第一名。
Haji returned with four medals from the world championships held in South Africa in August.
在继续备战未来赛事的同时，哈吉还承担起帮助其他女孩进入这项仍广泛被视为依靠体力、传统上由男性主导的运动的责任。
“I competed in the Republic Championship and the world championship qualifiers in 2026,” she told Anadolu. “I broke world records again and qualified for the world championships. I won three gold medals and one silver medal at the competition in South Africa.”Haji said she had qualified for another world championship in 2025 but was unable to attend because of visa difficulties. She later finished first in qualifying competitions for the West Asian Championship in Qatar.
她表示，成功的举重远不止需要力量，并强调了柔韧性、灵活性、平衡感和正确技术的重要性。训练课程包括抓举、挺举、拉和推动作，以及平衡和柔韧性练习。
While continuing to train for future competitions, Haji has also taken on the responsibility of helping other girls enter a sport still widely associated with physical strength and traditionally dominated by men.
哈吉训练的年轻运动员中包括她的姐妹以及两名叫马拉和法伊扎的女孩，她相信她们未来能在国际比赛中取得成功。
She said successful weightlifting required much more than strength, emphasizing the importance of flexibility, mobility, balance and correct technique.
“我希望我自己和我指导的女孩们都能进入奥运会，”哈吉说。“她们值得拥有这个机会。这些女孩已经训练了大约四年。她们从小开始练习，并持续提升自己。”
Training sessions include exercises focusing on the snatch, clean and jerk, pulling and pushing movements, as well as balance and flexibility.
未来目标 哈吉表示，家人的支持在她的运动生涯中至关重要，她形容母亲是她最大的鼓励来源之一，也是重要的榜样。
Among the young athletes Haji trains are her sisters and two girls named Marah and Faiza, whom she believes could achieve success in future international competitions.
她还感谢了拉卡省长阿卜杜拉赫曼·萨拉马，在她备战国际比赛期间给予了资金和精神支持。
“I want both myself and the girls I work with to reach the Olympics,” Haji said. “They deserve it. These girls have been working for about four years. They started at a young age and have continued to improve themselves.”Future goals Haji said the support of her family had been crucial throughout her sporting career, describing her mother as one of her greatest sources of encouragement and an important role model.
“省长在精神和资金上都支持我，”她说。“没有他，我可能无法参加锦标赛。他和我的教练承担了我备战的所有费用。”
She also thanked Raqqa Governor Abdurrahman al-Salama for providing financial and moral support during her preparations for international competition.
哈吉的下一个目标是在国际锦标赛上获得更多冠军，同时帮助和她一起训练的女孩们参加叙利亚以外的比赛。
“The governor supported me both morally and financially,” she said. “Without him, I might not have been able to attend the championship. He and my coach covered all the expenses for my preparation.”Haji’s next goal is to secure further titles at international championships while helping the girls training alongside her reach competitions beyond Syria.
她希望自己的经历能向年轻运动员表明，早开始、持续努力并获得正确的支持，能为通往世界舞台铺平道路。
She hopes her experience can show younger athletes that beginning early, working consistently and receiving the right support can open a path to the world stage.
对哈吉来说，成功不仅取决于她自己赢得多少奖牌，还取决于她训练的女孩们最终能否参加世锦赛和奥运会。
For Haji, success will not be measured only by the medals she wins herself but also by whether the girls she trains can eventually compete at world championships and the Olympic Games.
