Three Games records and gold in one event is huge. Which lift do you think best showed Didih's strength: the 93kg snatch or 113kg clean and jerk?

A 206kg total, ahead of silver by seven kilograms, makes this a particularly commanding Commonwealth Games performance.

The records deserve the spotlight, but the seven-kilogram gap over Yadav also shows this was not simply a routine win.
