		With three gold medals and world records in the snatch, clean and jerk, and total already in hand, Pawina Thongsuk took 145 kg on her third clean and jerk, minutes after she had broken the world record with a lift of 140 kg.
		Olympic gold medalist Pawina Thongsuk stuck 105 on her first attempt and Svetlana Shimkova (Russia), who was expected to push for top honors in the snatch, took the same weight for her first attempt, too, but she missed it and then came back for a strong success.
		But now that everyone else was done, Thongsuk went to work, and with a lot of support from the crowd, she snatched 110 kg with the smooth up and down movement of a piston.

		Thongsuk came from behind to win in the clean and jerk after Zabolotnaia, trying to become the third 19-year-old gold medalist in as many Olympic weightlifting events, set a snatch world record of 275½ pounds.

		Had Zabolotnaia made the 330½-pound lift, which she seemed capable of doing, Thongsuk would have been forced to lift 336 pounds (152.5kg) to win — just slightly less than the weight she didn’t come close to raising.
