North Korea lifter Ri Suk broke world record in a stunning performance at the Qatar Cup IWF Grand Prix II in Doha yesterday. The 20-year-old Ri broke seven junior world records in five good lifts in the 64kg category. When she made 146kg on her final attempt she also bettered the senior clean and jerk world record set four years ago by Deng Wei, the Chinese star who won Olympic gold and five world titles before retiring in 2020. Ri Suk’s (114-146-260) teammate Rim Un Sim came second on 113-141-254 and Ruth Ayodele from Nigeria was third on 98-120-218. To complete a golden day for North Korea, Ri Chong Song (right) won the men’s 81kg to give his team its seventh victory in Doha and an unassailable lead at the top of the Grand Prix medals table. Rahmat Erwin from Indonesia failed with a clean and jerk world record attempt and finished second.
