The 19-year-old Filipina placed second overall behind China’s Zailian Zeng, who secured gold with a 189kg total, while Canada’s Rebeca Groulx took bronze.
Colonia also earned silver in the snatch with an 80kg lift and posted 97kg in the clean-and-jerk, narrowly missing gold after failing her final attempt at 82kg.
