A new weight category might be a challenge for many athletes, but not for China's three-time Paralympic champion Tan Yujiao, who smashed the four-year-old Asian record in her first attempt.
Yujiao, who already had four world titles in women's up to 67 kg, pushed herself to a new limit lifting 147 kg and stunned reigning Paralympic champion Mariana D'Ándrea for the gold medal in the women's up to 73 kg final.
