Olympic Games
BEIJING: Prapawadee Jaroenrattanatarakoon of Thailand won the women’s 53kg weightlifting gold on Sunday with an Olympic record. South Korea’s Yoon Jinhee finished second and Natassia Novikava of Belarus got the bronze. Prapawadee lifted a total of 221kg, pulling off 95kg in the snatch and an Olympic high of 126kg in the clean and jerk. Her total was 8kg better than Yoon and Novikava. Yoon got the silver because of a lower body weight. Melanie Roach of the United States set an American record with a lift of 193kg, finishing sixth. The Thai lifter was tied with Novikava after the snatch, but clinched the gold with her first clean and jerk at 120kg, a weight no other lifter was able to match. After setting the Olympic record in her second lift, she went for a World record clean and jerk in her third attempt. But the 126kg was too much and she gave up halfway through the lift. — AP
