Welsh weightlifter Michaela Breeze could only finish in ninth place overall in the 58kg category in Athens. Despite equalling her British record in the clean and jerk with a lift of 120kg, Breeze could only manage 92.5kg in the snatch.
The gold went to China's Chen Yanqing, who smashed the Olympic record in both events and the overall category.
There was disappointment for Britain's Kamran Panjavi, who injured his back during his first lift and withdrew.
