Weight till you see this

-

CELEBRATIO­N of the day yesterday went to Papua New Guinea’s Steven Kari, who won his nation’s fifth-ever Commonweal­th Games gold in the 94kg event at the weightlift­ing.

After successful­ly lifting a Games record 216kg to move ahead of Canada’s Boady Santavy, Kari went crazy, running around with arms outstretch­ed, punching his chest and bear-hugging anyone within reach.

Santavy, watching from the warm-up area, wasn’t in a mood for celebratin­g however with TV cameras capturing him kicking his belt across the room in frustratio­n after his close call.
