Delight for Deng as records keep on tumbling

Rio Olympic champion Deng Wei shattered three world records en route to winning the women's 64kg category at the Asian Weightlifting Championships on Wednesday.

Deng, who set three world records in the 64kg division two months ago at the Fuzhou World Cup, had earlier tried to cool expectations of more records tumbling in Ningbo.

However, her words counted for little as she snatched 115kg for a new world-best mark by two kilos.
