Japan's Mikiko Andoh earned her first Olympic medal, taking the women's 59-kilogram weightlifting bronze medal at the Tokyo Games on Tuesday.
It was Japan's third consecutive Olympic medal in women's weightlifting after Hiromi Miyake's silver at the 2012 London Games and bronze at Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
The 28-year-old Andoh lifted 94 kg in the snatch and 120 kg in the clean and jerk for a 214 total and third place behind Taiwan's Kuo Hsing-chun's Olympic record 236 kg and the 217 lifted by Turkmenistan's Polina Guryeva, who took the silver.
Andoh competed for Japan in Rio, where she finished fifth in the 58-kg division.
