Only 20 years old, North Korea's Kim Il Gyong sets a new world record and a pair of Asian Games marks to capture the gold in the women's 59kg division, where Filipina weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz finishes fourth
HANGZHOU, China – North Korea maintained an eye-catching display in weightlifting in the Asian Games on Monday, October 2, when Kim Il Gyong lifted 111kg, setting a world record for the snatch on her way to gold in the women’s 59kg category.
Current world champion Luo, who was strongly supported by the several hundred-strong crowd in the venue on the southern outskirts of Hangzhou, matched Kim initially but then opted for 107kg with her third snatch, leaving the stage set for Kim to make her world record. Tokyo Olympic champion, Jakarta Asian Games champion, and five-time world champion Kuo was, unusually for her, a little way off in third, after a best lift of 101kg.
Afterwards, a tearful Kuo said an injury had indeed affected her. She said she hoped she could keep going towards her main goal of retaining her Olympic title in Paris next year., the women’s 55kg gold medalist in the Tokyo Games, finished fourth with a 223kg total.
