Holly O'Shea lifts Commonwealth Games personal best as she improves Birmingham total

Holly O'Shea, Team Gibraltar's baton bearer during last Thursday's opening ceremony, had to wait until Tuesday evening to begin her Commonwealth Games competition.
Holly was to find herself at the centre of attention as the Commonwealth Games introduced all participating athletes one by one before the start of the competition.
O'Shea began with the Snatch, with her first lift seeing her successfully complete 74kg, followed by another successful attempt at 77kg before taking on 80kg in her third and final Snatch attempt.
The Gibraltar weightlifter sat at the bottom of the standings following the Snatch session, with Canada's Charlotte Simone setting a Games record after successfully lifting 108kg.
Holly then began the Clean and Jerk with a 93kg lift before successfully completing 96kg and then 100kg in her third and final attempt.
Her final Clean and Jerk lift brought her overall total to 180kg, surpassing her previous Commonwealth Games result of 171kg achieved in Birmingham.
She finished at the bottom of the final standings, although her overall result represented an improvement on her previous Commonwealth Games performance.
