Charron also had the highest score in the snatch phase, lifting 105 kilograms. Her total of 236 points over the two phases was four better than silver medallist Giorgia Bordignon of Italy. Wen-Huei Chen of Taiwan finished third.
The 28-year-old lifted her hands in triumph as she climbed the podium and appeared to wipe away tears as the Canadian anthem played. Actually I don t remember, Charron said with a laugh when asked about the anthem. I was just crying, and I didn t realize what happened. I thought about my grandmother because once she told me she d like me to sing the Canadian anthem, so I sang it - but on the podium at the Olympics.
