EMILY CAMPBELL smashed the Commonwealth Games record today as she retained her women’s 86+kg weightlifting title in style in Glasgow. Campbell, two-time Olympic silver medallist, lifted a personal best 163kg in the clean-and-jerk section of the competition to earn a cumulative score of 278kg, well ahead of silver medallist Malaysia’s Siti Draman on 253kg, with Canada’s Etta Mae Love taking bronze. Cyrille Tchatchet’s weightlifting career turned full circle after securing a silver medal in the men’s 110kg category. Tchatchet absconded from the Cameroon team during the 2014 Games in the same city and spent time sleeping rough before gaining asylum and slowly resurrecting his career. “I’m very shocked and very happy,” said Tchatchet, who had represented the Refugee Team at the delayed 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo before making his switch in nationality permanent.
