Vanessa Sarno of the Philippines logged a DNF (did not finish) at the Paris Olympics women's weightlifting 71-kg class at the South Paris Arena early Saturday (Manila time).Sarno, who owns the national record of 110-kg in snatch, failed to lift 100 kgs in three attempts and immediately bomb out of competition in her Olympic debut.This marked the end of the Philippine weightlifting team's campaign in Paris.

Each lifter is given three attempts in each of the two rounds. The first round is the snatch and the second is clean and jerk. Because Sarno failed to make a successful lift in three attempts in snatch, she can no longer lift in the clean and jerk.John Ceniza also incurred a DNF in the men's 61-kg on Wednesday while Elreen Ando finished sixth place in the women's 59-kg on Thursday.Ando also established new national records in clean and jerk (130kg) and total lift (230kg) in her second Olympic appearance.
