England's Madias Ngake won silver in the women's 86kg weightlifting at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The 34-year-old, who won a bronze medal when competing for Cameroon at the London 2012 Olympics, was making her debut for England and led the competition after the snatch section with a Commonwealth Games record lift of 111kg.
The Nottingham-based athlete then put in an effort of 128kg in the clean and jerk to take her total to 239kg, only for Australia's Eileen Cikamatana to come up with a 140kg lift to go with her previous 108kg and win the gold.
Canada's Rose Beaudoin (230kg) won the bronze medal.
"I really enjoyed myself, it wasn't my best performance but I'm okay with that," Ngake told TNT Sports.
"I was looking for a gold medal, maybe a 134 or 135 (kg in the clean and jerk).
"This ranks second behind my Olympic bronze medal."
