Colombian weightlifter Oscar Figueroa struck Olympic gold and then immediately retired capping a rollercoaster few months after he was given a suspended prison sentence for car crime. The 33-year-old, who once fled fighting by Colombian rebels, fell to his knees and burst into tears after lifting 318kg in an enthralling and emotionally-charged men's 62kg on Monday. According to his lawyer, he bought the car for a friend, who then sold it and claimed it had been stolen, before Figueroa reported the "theft" to the police.
