Sakina Khatun put in a brilliant performance but fell short of a medal win in her debut at the Paralympics. Khatun was out of medal contention after four other athletes had crossed the 100kg mark as she struggled to lift the 93kg load. She eventually did lift the bar successfully, but could only muster a fifth-place finish.
