NAGOYA, Japan, Sept. 23 (Yonhap) -- North Korea scooped up two gold medals in weightlifting at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Wednesday, ending its gold medal drought on the fourth day of competition.

Ri Song-gum won gold after finishing with a total of 215 kilograms, lifting 94kg in the snatch, and 121kg in the clean and jerk in the women's 48kg event at Nagoya City Trade and Industry Center in Nagoya, Japan.

All three marks -- her snatch, clean and jerk, and total -- were new world records.
