The International Weightlifting Federation has ranked Jang Mi-ran the world's top female lifter in the 75-kilogram class.

The federation on Friday said it gave Jang the top ranking after she lifted last week 295 kilograms overall in the snatch and clean and jerk events at the East Asian Games in Macao.

Jang's performance was 10 kilograms short of the world record but this year's best in events sanctioned by the federation.

She will compete again next week in the Centennial World Championships.
