48kg Women 2012 London Olympics Weightlifting

By

The London 2012 women’s 48kg weightlifting session is done.

Update: Official Recordings on YouTube

While we are waiting for the recordings to appear on youtube, here is the recording on the BBC. (I use a VPN to watch BBC Streams)

Wang Mingjuan won the Snatch with 91kg

And the Clean & Jerk with 114kg

“I hope this medal will provide encouragement for the rest of the team,” Wang told reporters.

Japan’s Hiromi Miyake finished second and Ryang Chun Hwa of North Korea got the bronze.

Medal favourite Panida Khamsri of Thailand bombed out after three failed snatch attempts at 81 kilograms.

Miyake, whose uncle and father finished first and third in the 1968 Olympics, trailed Wang by 4 kilograms in the snatch and fell further behind in the clean and jerk, finishing with a total of 197 kilograms.

“It’s a dream come true,” said Miyake. “Now I got a silver medal so I’m very proud of myself.” via

    Gregor, I’m looking around the ‘net and can’t find any listing for Wang’s and Miyake’s weigh-in, body weights before yesterday’s match. Do you know or can you send me to a site to find out. Thanks.
