At the start, Rivero lifted 115 kg and 141 kilograms in the boat, to reach a total of 256 kg, with which he won the silver medal.

For his part, Maneiro won the bronze medal after lifting 151 kg at the start and 185 kg at the start, for a total of 336 kg, according to a press release from the Ministry of Sport.

The participation of the Venezuelan delegation is part of the sports cooperation agreement between the two nations and served as preparation for Venezuelan weightlifters for future international commitments.
