Another great contest within the WWC Qualifying event in 2023 with lots of catchy and dramatic moments happened on Sunday, the 10th of September in Riyadh. The next pile of female weightlifters all around the world gathered in the major contest arena to take the leadership in the category of Women’s 64 kg.

Overall, the performance was quite dramatic and the atmosphere was thick: literally, a silver and bronze holders were one point behind the leader. So, we can admit that medalists were almost equal.

Here are the best of the best athletes of this weight class who pleased us with the following results:

The gold medal moved to a representative of Colombia Nathalia Llamosa Mosquera who showed her peak shape and impressive lifts of 223 kg total, 101 kg in Snatch, and 122 kg in Clean & Jerk.

The silver award was taken by Ruth Ayodele from Nigeria who managed to lift 100 kg in Snatch, 122 kg of Clean & Jerk, and total she got 222 kg.
