Two silvers for Palagtiw
Palagtiw actually tied for first in clean and jerk with Ukrainian Polina Kalnyk with 112kg each and in total with Tunisian Ghrissa Ghofrane with 200kg apiece but settled for the silver since the latter two achieved the total weight first to snatch the gold.

Palagtiw actually tied for first in clean and jerk with Ukrainian Polina Kalnyk with 112kg each and in total with Tunisian Ghrissa Ghofrane with 200kg apiece but settled for the silver since the latter two achieved the total weight first to snatch the gold.
