The 22-year-old's lift follows three other world records set by North Korean weightlifters at this Games. "I was unwell for about a week just before coming to Hangzhou so I see my achievement here as outstanding," Dewi said. In the soccer competition, China's women were beaten 4-3 by Japan in a goal-fest of a semi-final, joining the host men's team who were knocked out on Sunday by South Korea.

Quan, 16, who took gold at the Tokyo Olympics, won with 438.20 points, just under three points ahead of her 18-year-old team mate. Pandelela Rinong Pamg of Malaysia took bronze with 280.5. "I always say to myself, stay true to yourself, stay true to your original dream," Wang said."Follow the wind, the wind will take me to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games."
