Olympics Latest: Kuo takes weightlifting gold for Taiwan
July 27, 2021 GMT
MEDAL ALERT
Kuo Hsing-Chun has won Taiwan’s first gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics with a dominant performance in the women’s 59-kilogram weightlifting category.
In both the snatch and the clean and jerk, even Kuo’s first lift was higher than any other athlete managed in three attempts.
Kuo lifted a total 236 kilograms, beating second-place Polina Guryeva of Turkmenistan by 19kg, but failed on a final attempt to break her own clean and jerk world record.
Kuo’s chances were helped by the lack of an entry from China in the category and a doping ban for 2016 Olympic gold medalist Sukanya Srisurat of Thailand.
