Her 26-year-old's family, neighbours and friends, who were gathered at her home and watching the game, burst into celebrations the moment she lifted a total of 202 kg (87kg+115kg).
Women, men and children saw on the floor of a small room, glued to a television set with the game on. While many were seen praying with their hands folded and eyes closed, some watched the screen with bated breath.
