PHNOM PENH, Cambodia: Filipino weightlifter Rosalinda Faustino claimed a silver medal in the women’s 55kg class in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games at the National Olympic Stadium’s Taekwondo Hall on Sunday, May 14.

Faustino raised a total of 184 kg — her best in snatch was 80 and 104 in clean and jerk.

She would have won the gold had she raised 107 in her third attempt in clean and jerk but was unsuccessful.

As a result, Indonesia’s Juliana Klarisa took the gold medal with a total of 186.
