The story
Tara Nott won the women's 48kg gold medal in weightlifting at Sydney 2000 on 17 September 2000. The title went to USA, with the competition held at Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Australia. The winning total was 185.0 kg. The total combined a best snatch of 82.5 kg and a best clean and jerk of 102.5 kg.
How it unfolded
Raema Lisa Rumbewas (Indonesia) took silver; Sri Indriyani (Indonesia) took bronze.
The wider picture
Each lifter could attempt three snatches and three clean and jerks. The best successful lift in each discipline counted towards the combined total; unsuccessful attempts added nothing. Athletes competed in bodyweight categories, and the lighter bodyweight determined the order when totals were equal under the rules of this edition. The Olympic medals here were awarded for the total, rather than separate snatch or clean-and-jerk medals.
