PARIS – The pressure was too much bear and weightlifter John Febuar Ceniza dropped out of the medal race even before the competition in the 61kg class got hotter in the Paris Olympic on Wednesday, Aug. 7, at the South Paris Arena.
PARIS – The pressure was too much bear and weightlifter John Febuar Ceniza dropped out of the medal race even before the competition in the 61kg class got hotter in the Paris Olympic on Wednesday, Aug. 7, at the South Paris Arena.
That’s because the Cebu City native failed not only once but thrice to clear the 125kg he declared as his starting lift in the snatch.Nope. His national record in snatch is 134kg, so it was natural for the world No. 5 to kick off his medal bid that high.But to everybody’s horror, his ploy to strike fear into the hearts of his rivals backfired big time.
