KAZAKHSTAN'S Olympic champion Ilya Ilyin and world champion Svetlana Podobedova broke China's domination in weightlifting by winning both gold medals yesterday at the Asian Games in Guangzhou.
Ilyin won the men's 94-kilogram division with a combined total of 394 kilograms while Podobedova (287) left the pack far behind in the women's 75-kilogram division.
China leads the weightlifting competition with seven golds but needs to win all of the remaining three events today to match its 10-gold performance at the 2006 Asian Games.
Ilyin, 22, lifted 175 kilograms in snatch and 219 kilograms in clean and jerk - finishing one kilogram ahead of Iran's Asghar Ebrahimi and 11 clear of third-place Kim Min-jae of South Korea.
Podobedova lifted 130 kilograms in snatch and 157 in clean and jerk but didn't make an attempt at her world records in either of the two. China's Cao Lei (265) won silver and pushed Podobedova's teammate Tatyana Khromova (250) to claim bronze.
"I had broken the (world) record at the world championships recently and I wanted to get prepared for the next worlds," Podobedova said.
At September's World Championships in Antalya, Turkey, Podobedova broke all the three world records for a combined lift of 295 kilograms.
Earlier, Ilyin secured gold with his second lift of 219 kilograms in clean and jerk but could not break his Asian record of 226 kilograms when he made an unsuccessful attempt at 227.
"My result is not close to what I had achieved in training, but still I am happy to win this gold," Ilyin said.
Ebrahimi was impressive in snatch despite failing at 186 kilograms in his third attempt. His successful lift at 183 was five better than Kim while Ilyin was eight kilograms behind him.
Kazakhstan now has won three weightlifting golds at the games, with Maiya Maneza winning the 63-kilgoram women's event.
