A Venezuelan weightlifter missed an attempt on the clean
& jerk Sunday at the Pan Am Games and fell to the ground -- but
still managed to snag a silver medal. 20-year-old Genesis Rodriguez
Gomez competed in the women's 53kg Group A at the competition, which is
being held in Oshawa, Ontario. She missed her first attempt on the clean
and jerk at 106kg. Rodriguez raised the bar to her shoulders and paused
before raising it over her head. However, she collapsed onto the
platform and the bar fell behind her. Rodriguez later completed her
second attempt at the same weight, as well as her third and final clean
and jerk at 109kg. She finished in second place.
