Tokyo, Aug 4 (AP) Georgian weightlifter Lasha Talakhadze has set a new world record in the snatch lift with 223 kilograms.
Talakhadze set the new record in the super-heavyweight, over-109-kilogram category with apparent ease even though he had to lift three times in a row because his entry weight was higher than anything attempted by his rivals.
Talakhadze has a commanding lead of 23 kilograms at the halfway point of the competition with Ali Davoudi of Iran in second before the clean and jerk. (AP)
