Anozie, 36, failed to lift 162kg in her first attempt but came back to lift the same weight which eventually gave her the lead. Her third attempt to lift 165kg failed; she would have equalled the Paralympic record had she succeeded.
Anozie’s success added 12 points to Nigeria’s credit to put the team at the top of the women’s world powerlifting rankings with 71 points.
Nigeria leads China which has 65 points, while Egypt is third in the rankings with 62 points.
