Pakistan weightlifter Talha finishes fifth as China's Chen takes gold - Newspaper

TOKYO: Seeking to end Pakistan’s 19-year wait for a medal in any Olympic sport, weightlifter Talha Talib was primed for a podium finish at one point in the 67kg category at the Tokyo Games on Sunday.
Talha had lifted 150kg in the snatch to go second in the field, just behind Colombia’s Luis Javier Mosquera Lozano (151kg).
But then the 21-year-old Commonwealth Games bronze medallist had to lift and wait an agonising 25 minutes before finally being bumped out of the medal places in one of the most dramatic sessions of weightlifting at the Olympics.
