In the London Games, Weightlifter Zulfiya Chinshanlo of Kazakhstan set a clean and jerk world record on Sunday to win the gold medal in the women's 53-kilogram category.
19-year old Chinshanlo, lifted 131 kilograms in her second clean and jerk attempt, bettering her own world record by 1 kilogram. She finished with a total of 226 kilograms.
Hsu Shu-ching of Taiwan got the silver medal and Cristina Iovu of Moldova the bronze.
Chinshanlo, world champion in 2011, was in third place after the snatch, but was unstoppable in the clean and jerk. She even loaded 135 kilograms on the bar for her final attempt, but gave up halfway through the lift. China's Zhou Jun, a medal favorite, surprisingly made an early departure from the competition after failing her three snatch attempts.

A court in Kazakhstan has jailed 13 people for their role in deadly riots last December in the remote desert oil town of Zhanaozen. At least 15 people were killed in the unrest and more than 100 injured.
The hearings were conducted at a youth centre that had been turned into a makeshift courtroom in the Caspian port city of Aktau.
The violence in Zhanaozen was the worst unrest seen in Kazakhstan since its independence from the Soviet Union more than 20 years ago.
