Leeds has its second weightlifting silver medal at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia.

Sarah Davies was second on the podium in the 69kg event:

"I am overwhelmed. I’m speechless. My best ever in competition was 121kg so to get close to that was great. The crowd were amazing and I was nearly there and it was millimetres really. For me this wasn’t my weight class originally so to medal in this category is amazing."

It's just a day after Jack Oliver also won silver, Jack and Sarah run Wisdom 4 Weightlifting in Horsforth together.
