China's Gu Wei lifts to break the clean and
jerk world record during the women's 69 kg category at the World
Weightlifting Championships in Doha, Qatar, Friday Nov. 11, 2005.
[AP] | With a snatch of 102, Gu totalled 241,
eclipsing the previous world mark of 240 by countrywoman by Li Wang in August
2003 at Bali, Indonesia.
"After Kameaim's lift I was under pressure but after
overcoming her mark I thought I should go further and try for the overall
record," Gu said. "I am pleased that all my strategies went according to plan."
