- Clean & Jerk — Saikhom Mirabai Chanu, 119 kilograms (262.4 pounds)
- Total — Zhihui Hou, 213 kilograms (469.6 pounds)
In Group A, Delacruz made an early move and upped her opening attempt from 80 kilograms up to 83 kilograms and hit it. Sterckx and Cantika Asiah both appeared to struggle, each scoring only one of their three snatch attempts. Hou Zhihui was the only lifter to lower her opening snatch attempt — 91 kilograms down to 88 kilograms. She upped it to 92 kilograms on her second attempt to set a new Olympic record. She bested that on her third attempt of 94 kilograms.
In the clean & jerk, Delacruz was unable to hit 108 kilograms on all three attempts and failed to total. Hou notched 114 kilograms on her second attempt to force Mirabai to have to beat her world record of 119 kilograms in order to potentially claim gold. However, the Mirabai was too far behind and went for 117 kilograms in her final clean & jerk attempt but missed.
