The weightlifter took second place in the snatch with a lift of 111 kilograms, first place in the lunge with a lift of 146 kilograms and second place in the total with 257 kilograms. “I am happy, but not satisfied, because I came to win the category, I missed two attempts in the snatch and that deprived me of winning the competition outright.
