Britain's Zoe Smith set a new personal best in the snatch to win the 63kg category at the British Weightlifting Championships in Coventry.

The 21-year-old Commonwealth Games champion's 96kg helped her to a total of 214kg, guaranteeing her a place at November's World Championships.

Wales' Gareth Evans set two new British records in the snatch (124kg) and total (269kg) in the men's 62kg category.

There was also a 20th British title for Joanne Calvino in the 53kg category.
