Jiang lifts China鈥檚 1st YOG medal
JIANG Huihua won China’s first medal at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing yesterday, outclassing the field in the women’s 48-kilogram class to take the gold with ease.
Jiang’s best of three lifts in the snatch was 88kg and she hoisted 105kg in the clean and jerk to finish with a 193kg total. That is more than four times her body weight of 47.3kg.
“I am very excited to get the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation,” said the 16-year-old Jiang.
Ri Song Gum of North Korea and Rebeka Koha of Latvia each finished with a combined lift of 165kg but Ri was awarded the silver because she weighed 1.92kg less than the bronze medalist.
Earlier, Australian triathlete Brittany Dutton won the first gold of the games as competition kicked-off without Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria who withdrew because of the Ebola outbreak in Africa.
Dutton, 16, rode a brilliant bike leg to force American Stephanie Jenks into second on her 17th birthday.
