Brazil returned to shine this Monday (25th) at the Weightlifting Pan American Games, in Bogotá (Colombia). One day after Emily Rosa won three gold medals in the under-45 kg category, today it was sister Nathasha Rosa’s turn to secure a silver and two bronzes, in the 49 kg category, with the right to break Brazilian records.
In the sum of the exercises (grades obtained from the snatch and throw), the Brazilian totaled 190 kg, being just one kilo of reaching the sum of the vice-champion Jourdan Delacruz (United States) and two of the also North American Hayley Reichardt, medal of gold.

Nathasha started by lifting 80 kg in the snatch, and then went on to lift 84 kg, securing silver. The gold went to the Mexican Andrea Martinez (85 kg) and the bronze to the North American Hayley Reichardt (84 kg).
In the throw, the Brazilian started with 101 kg of weight, then managed to lift 104 kg and successfully finished lifting 106 kg, which guaranteed not only the bronze but also the new Brazilian record in the throw. Two Americans completed the podium: Jourdan Delacruz and Hayley Reichardt lifted the same 108 kg, but Delacruz took the gold by the tiebreaker criteria.
The other Brazilian who climbed the platform today also in the 49 kg category was Luíza Dias, who finished in ninth place with a total of 175 kg (she had 95 kg in the throw and 80 in the snatch).
“It was sensational, it was a total overcoming. She beat Brazilian records in the throw and total and stayed until the last move in the fight for the title. With the weights she lifted, Nathasha would get a medal at the World Championships, she has already reached that level”, praised coach Dragos Stanica, in a statement to the Brazilian Weightlifting Confederation (CBLP).
On Sunday (24), Emily Rosa opened Brazil’s first day of disputes at the Pan, securing three gold medals, lifting 73 kg in the snatch, 90 kg in the throw, totaling 163 kg.
