In the jerk, she hoisted1 140kg in her last attempt to win the gold. She won the jerk and total in the World Championships 2006.
"I'm satisfied with this result", said Cao, "I was injured during the winter training, and my injury affected2 my performance to some degree."
Cao's previous best is 120kg in the snatch and 152kg in the jerk which she made in the Asian Games 2006.
Ma Wenhui, coach of the Chinese woman team, said: "Cao's result is not very good. But she was injured before the competition, so it is quite satisfactory." |
