Canada's Santavy fourth in 96-kilogram weightlifting at Tokyo Olympics MORE:
TOKYO — Waiting may have been the hardest part of Canadian weightlifter Boady Santavy's night on Saturday.
"I'm still kind of thinking about everything right now, even though I really shouldn't be," said Santavy, a native of Sarnia, Ont."But that's the way she goes and I'll be training for the next three years for the Paris Olympics and better results, hopefully." El-Bakh, Vallenilla Sanchez, and Pliesnoi all made the 177 mark, so Santavy upped the weight on his third snatch attempt by a kilogram.
Pliesnoi then made a 206-kilo lift to move to the top of the standings with a total of 383, sliding Santavy down to third at five kilos back.
