Canada's Tali Darsigny wins weightlifting bronze at Commonwealth Games
Canada's Tali Darsigny won bronze in the women's 59-kilogram weightlifting competition on Sunday at the Commonwealth Games.
However, Darsigny's high in the clean and jerk was just 109 kg, leaving her with a total of 196 kg. That allowed England's Jessica Gordon Brown to pass her as she lifted 111 kg to claim silver with a total of 197 kg.
The gold medal went to Nigeria's Rafiatu Folashade Lawal, who lifted 90 kg in the snatch and followed that up with 116 kg in the clean and jerk to finish with a Games-record total of 206.
Earlier in the day, Jessica Tuomela of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and her guide Emma Skaug raced to bronze in the Para triathlon.
The pair of bronzes improved Canada's total to 13 through three days of competition. The Canadian team won 82 at the Games four years ago in Australia.
