DOHA, Qatar (AP) - Zarema Kasaeva of Russia set a world record in the clean and jerk Sunday in the women's 152-pound category at the World Weightlifting Championships.
The 18-year-old Russian hoisted 346 pounds in her final attempt after Liu Haixia of China lifted 340 in her third attempt to eclipse the previous record of 337 set by Liu Chunhong at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Liu Haixia's record lasted only a minute until Kasaeva stepped up to lift.
