What to remember
Three world records in one competition: that was North Korea's Ri Song-gum's haul at the 2026 Asian Games, capped by the gold medal. One of them is the 94 kg snatch she made on 23 September 2026 in Nagoya, in the women's 49 kg class.
A 49 kg lifter, Ri Song-gum has taken part in several World Championships and Asian Games. In every class the International Weightlifting Federation keeps a record for the snatch, the clean and jerk and the total; it reshaped those classes in 2026, as it had in 1993, 1998, 2018 and 2025, nullifying the old records each time.
