Auckland weightlifter Lou Guinares was below his best today when competing in the B group of the 56kg division at the Commonwealth Games.
Guinares, who entered the competition with a best total of 221kg, could manage just 206kg, which placed him second in the B division.
In the snatch, he began promisingly with a lift of 90kg, but then twice failed at 93kg. In the clean and jerk, he had 113kg and 116kg for his first two lifts, but missed his third attempt, at 119kg.
The B section was won by Nigerian Rasaq Tanimowo, who totalled 225kg.
