Simplice Ribouem, 31, looked set to win gold at the 94kg men's weightlifting event after Papua New Guinea's Steven Kari failed to lift 200kg in his final clean and jerk. On review, the lift was deemed good by the judges, and when Ribouem failed to lift 201kg, the gold was awarded to Kari. Australia's Simplice Ribouem says he should have received the gold medal for the men's 94kg weightlifting event after a controversial judge's decision meant he placed second . The jury that ruled Kari's lift was good contained a Papua New Guinean official and the wife of Kari's coach, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. Ribouem, who won gold for the event at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi four years ago, did not suggest the judges had acted improperly but said the lift should have been ruled invalid because Kari's elbow touched his knee during the lift. 'I'm upset… You can't do anything. The judges decide. I was planning to bring the gold to my two sons. Unfortunately I have silver and I have to accept that,' he told the Sydney Morning Herald.
