Anggi Restu of Indonesia finished second with 212kg. while Kim Hye-min of Korea placed third with 211kg. . Sarno, who hails from Barangay Bool in Tagbilaran City, had an impressive showing in May at the Vietnam Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi where she set new records in snatch , clean and jerk , and total to win the gold medal.
“She’s ready for Paris 2024 but she will have to work harder and I’ll make sure of that. Yes, this is so far the best in Asian youth and juniors. In the past, even one gold by Sarno in North Korea made me happy. Now with 15, what more can we ask? Fifteen times our anthem was played. To all the coaches under Tony Agustin, our Board, parents, Philippine Sports Commission, and MVP Sports Foundation, salamat . But most of all, to God be the glory. Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028, here we come.
