Nottingham's Emily Campbell adds Commonwealth gold to her weightlifting medal haul
The NEC announcer informed fans before the final that the weightlifting venue had become known as "the party arena" and the crowd made sure it lived up to its name.
With her hair arranged in two buns on top of her head - one white and one red - she took on the role of circus ringmaster, opening her arms wide in celebration after every successful lift. Campbell looked dominant throughout, breaking the Games record with her second snatch attempt of 121kg before extending it to 124kg as the Samoan had to settle for 121kg.
