Her total of 215kg obliterated the old world mark by 7kg. India's Mirabai Chanu, the silver medallist at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, finally won an Asian Games medal at the third time of asking.She had a total of 198kg after a snatch of 87kg and clean and jerk of 111kg while Indonesia's Diana Tri Wijayana took bronze on 191kg, with 88kg and 103kg respectively.Ri became only the fourth lifter, and first woman, to win three Asian Games weightlifting golds. She joined Iran's Mohammad Nassiri (1966-74), South Korea's Kim Tae-hyun (1990-98) and Iran's Behdad Salimi (2010-2018) who all won three golds. No one has ever won four. Source link

Al Sadd thrashed Al Gharafa 4-1 at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium on Saturday to make it three straight wins in the Qatar Stars League (QSL). The unbeaten defending champions moved top of the table with nine points, while Al Gharafa slipped to ninth with three points after suffering their second defeat. Yusuf Abdurisag began the goal-scoring for The Wolves converting a Roberto Firmino cross with ease in the very 5th minute of the game. Abdurisag then did a celebratory jig along with Akram Afif and Firmino much to the delight of their fans. The Al Sadd mood continued with Claudinho added a second goal in the 12th minute. Left unmarked, the Brazilian midfielder flicked in an Afif lob to score.Afif himself joined the party in the second session (50th minute) as he broke through the ranks and beat the rival goalkeeper depositing the ball in the right corner. Al Gharafa got one on board in the 82nd minute as Yacine Brahimi collected a Florinel Coman cross to shoot high centre into the net.Al Sadd however continued to rule the roost and a fast break in the 90+3′ saw Firmino sliding, inside right in the box, to connect a Boualem Khoukhi assist. A fifth for Al Sadd seemed on its way in a final stoppage-time attempt but Younes El Hannach’s shot from the right side of the box was cut off in the top centre by Al Gharafa’s goalkeeper Khalifa Ababacar. Al Duhail hold Al Rayyan 1-1Earlier at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, Al Duhail held Al Rayyan to a 1-1 draw in their third round match. The result ended The Lions’ winning run but took their tally to 7 points, while Al Duhail moved to 5 points with their second draw result in the league so far.Al Rayyan made an early breakthrough with Roger Guedes directing home a Jassem Gaber header following a corner kick in the 5th minute of the match. Al Duhail came close to equalizing in added time of first half but Al Rayyan goalkeeper Mahmud Abunada stood in the way.The Red Knights succeeded later in the 72nd minute when an alert Tahsin Mohammed cashed in on a defence error. He grabbed the ball and made a left-footed strike from top of the box into the left corner. Al Rayyan pushed hard for a winner towards the end but it remained elusive. Related Story Source link

Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard scores against Chelsea during the Premier League match in London. (Reuters) Arsenal delivered an emphatic response to Chelsea’s emergence as potential Premier League title contenders with a 2-1 win that ended their rivals’ unbeaten start yesterday.Mikel Arteta’s side trailed to Morgan Rogers’ second-minute goal in a pulsating London derby at the Emirates Stadium. But the champions showed why they are firm favourites to retain the title with a blistering response to that early setback.Kai Havertz bagged the equaliser against his former club midway through the first half and Martin Odegaard netted Arsenal’s winner soon after the interval. It was a statement of intent from second-placed Arsenal, who have won all three league matches to sit behind leaders Manchester City on goal scored.The Gunners’ mature display underlined their desire to win the club’s first back-to-back titles since the 1930s. For Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso, the defeat ended his three-game winning run in all competitions since taking charge at Stamford Bridge in the close-season.Alonso will realise just how much work Chelsea still have to do before they are in position to end a title drought dating back to 2017. Chelsea’s shaky defence is prone to costly miscues, while their vaunted attack found it harder to flourish against Arsenal than in their free-scoring wins over Fulham, Luton and Brighton.Arteta and Alonso have known each other since their days as childhood friends in the Basque region of Spain. The chaotic matches of their youth on a gravel pitch in the Berio district of San Sebastian would have seemed calm in comparison to the blood and thunder their teams brought to a raucous corner of north London.Chelsea beat Arsenal in the race to sign Rogers from Aston Villa in the close-season after the Gunners refused to match the Blues’ £117mn ($158mn) bid for the England midfielder. Rogers showed why Chelsea made him the most expensive British player in history as he put the Blues ahead after just 77 seconds.Arsenal’s rock-solid defence had allowed just one shot on target in their first two games. So often masters of the set-piece, Arteta’s men were found wanting at a free-kick for once.Reece James’ lofted delivery wasn’t cleared by Declan Rice or Odegaard, giving Rogers the chance to drive a low volley past David Raya from the edge of the penalty area. It was the first goal conceded by Arsenal this season.Having conceded five times in their first two league games under Alonso, Chelsea’s three-man central defence remains flawed and they were exposed again in the 25th minute. Havertz was allowed to drift from the right flank to the edge of the area unchecked by Jorrel Hato before the German smashed a low strike through the slow to react Maxence Lacroix’s legs and past Emiliano Martinez at his near post.Pedro Neto was inches away from restoring Chelsea’s lead just before half-time when the Portugal winger slapped his shot against the far post. Where Chelsea were profligate, Arsenal have developed a ruthless touch in front of goal.They exploited Chelsea’s weakness at the back to net with a superb-crafted move in the 50th minute. Christos Tzolis has made an impressive start following his close-season move from Club Brugge and the Greek winger’s incisive pass sliced through the Chelsea defence to Havertz.The German’s clever dummy let the ball run through to Odegaard and he kept his composure to slot home from 10 yards.Rogers’ angry clash with Rice prompted mocking chants of “you should have signed for a big club” from Arsenal fans. Chelsea had chances to silence the taunts, but Malo Gusto blazed over from a good position before Estevao Willian’s rocket was tipped over by Raya in the final minutes.Earlier, Ainsley Maitland-Niles marked his Everton debut with a superb strike with virtually the last kick of the game to snatch a 2-2 draw for the Toffees against Manchester United.Maitland-Niles’s arrival from Lyon on the final day of the transfer window was overshadowed by Everton’s failure to reinforce their attack. But the former Arsenal full-back lasered a long-range shot into the top corner in the 96th minute to punish a lacklustre United performance.Bryan Mbeumo fired United in front inside the first minute of the second period. But an Everton side short on attacking options rallied to level through Tyrique George.Substitute Benjamin Sesko’s header looked to have won United all three points. But the decision not to reinforce Michael Carrick’s defence will face more scrutiny as United have conceded twice in all of their opening three games of the Premier League season.
