VANESSA SARNO dominated the Group B of women’s +71 kgs division at the last and sixth Olympic qualifier’s International Weightlifting Federation World Cup on Sunday that strengthened her hold of Paris Olympic berth.
She lifted a new personal best and Philippine record 110 kgs in snatch before finishing only with 135 kgs in clean and jerk due to a hurting back, but still managed to get the job done and rule her field to keep a strong inside track at the Olympic rankings of 71 kgs. She established her old snatch record of 108 kgs during the World Grand Prix competition in Doha, Qatar last December although she didn’t win a medal.Sarno, the 2021 Asian Champion in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, has already considered qualified for the Paris Olympics with her strong performance in Group B unless there would be five weightlifters — from Group A who would break her 249 kgs best lift as of press time.
