In the first two lifts, Meneses\u2019 facial expression reflected a bit of a struggle but he kept a sort of boyish grin in an attempt to show he had control of the weights. Even after failing in the 80-kg round, Meneses remained optimistic, flashing a smile at the crowd before taking his leave. <\/p>\n<p>Later in the clean and jerk, Meneses came back with a sterner expression with his eyes fixated toward the judges. He had good lifts in the 105 kg and 108 kg before failing in 111 kg. <\/p>\n<p>Meneses\u2019 sole competitor for the class, Regis, eased through the snatch, making lifts in the 60 kg, 63 kg, and finally the 67 kg. <\/p>\n<p>Regis came back for the clean and jerk where he prevailed in the 90 kg and the 93 kg before he broke in the 96 kg. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_341294\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-341294\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Meneses-pix-1-300x225.jpg\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-341294\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The winners of the 2021 Marianas Cup Weightlifting Tournament pose for a photo last Saturday at the Pedro P.
