In the weights there are 15 divisions and no country can join more than 10.

Liao lifted 158 kilos in the boot and 190 in the envión for a total of 348 kilos.

The Cuban Yordanis Borrero ranked fourth with its total of 328.

Liao, world champion last year, spent a fright when Dabaya-Tientcheu decided to lift 197 kilos in the envión in his last attempt, which would have equalled the world record and has led the gold. The French, however, even made an effort. After touching the bar to give an idea of what they weighed, withdrew.

“I wanted to do, but I knew it was too much weight for me,” he said.

“When I saw that tried the 197, bother me,” confessed Liao. “Although, actually, doubted that my opponent could lift such a weight.”

The South Korean Bae-young Lee was second after the starter, but he tore a muscle in his first attempt at envión and had to leave.

Pak won the 63 with a total of 241 kilos. The Kazakh Irina Nekrassova rose up with the silver medal and Taiwanese Lu Ying-chi the bronze. It was the first gold for his country at the games.

The Russian Svetlana Tsarukaeva was the favorite but failed in her three attempts to lift 107 kilos in the boot.

Pak failed in his first two attempts envión with 135 kilos, but managed to lift that weight in the third, ensuring the gold.

“I feel exhilaration of having been a joy to our general,” Pak said, referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.

“Failed the first two attempts. When would make the third, I thought I looked into the eyes of my dear. That encouraged me and thought I managed to lift the weight,” said the North Korean.

Pak lifted 106 kilos in the boot and the final bill passed by a kilo to Nekrassova. Lu added 231.

Nekrassova said that Pak did not think that could lift 135 kilograms and he believed he had secured the gold medal. Twenty minutes later was still crying in distress.
