Weightlifter Polsak first Thai female to win Olympic gold - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM (465 words)
Polsak, missing only once during six powerfully executed lifts that gradually pulled her away from a small eight-lifter field, held off Indonesia's Lisa Raema Rumbewas in the 53-kilogramme class yesterday for only the third Olympics gold medal by any Thai athlete.
Polsak, a two-time world junior silver medalist, took advantage of Deng's absence to open a lead of 10 kilogrammes over everyone but Rumbewas after the snatch, in which the bar is raised over the head in one motion.
Polsak was 12.5kg ahead of Rumbewas by the end, with a total of 222.5kg that was slightly less than the world and Olympic record total of 225kg by China's Yang Xia in 2000.

Udomporn Polsak ( Thai อุดมพร พลศักดิ์, geboren 6 oktober 1981 in Nakhon Ratchasima) is een Thais gewichtheffer.
Ook heeft legergeneraal Chayasit Shinawatra besloten om de droomwens van Udomporn te vervullen, namelijk een carriere in het leger.
Na veel kritiek veranderde hij zijn eerste verklaring en vertelde hij dat hij een replica van de medaille wilde maken van puur goud ter waarde van 300.000 baht om aan Udomporn te geven.
