Kendrick of Compton has inspired David of Auckland to Commonwealth Games gold.David Liti offered nothing short of outrageous courage and brilliant theatre to secure gold in a sport he once thought was "boring".The 21-year-old won the men’s over 105 kilogram weightlifting on the Gold Coast, combining a 174 kilogram snatch with a 229 kilogram clean and jerk in a Games record combined lift of 403 kilograms.Liti says he listened to some inspiring music from Kendrick Lamar before competition to amp him up."[He] was just pumping me and some people think that he's an angry rapper, but I think he's a happy dude. Happy go lucky."His first snatch saw him put 166kg on the bar – 1kg more than his own mass. He lifted it like lint off a jersey.Bizarrely, Liti was denied a second lift courteous of a timing glitch. The origins of the error remain unknown as yet. He popped his earphones aside, returned to ping up 174kg and blew a kiss at the judges.He duelled with Pakistan's Muhammad Nooh Dastgir Butt and Samoa's Lui Lauititi
